A skillful musician and cello teacher, Nick has imparted me with a strong foundation in technique and nurtured my musical sensibility. His gentle and tolerant demeanor makes him an exceptional instructor, and I would unequivocally endorse him to cello aspirants, regardless of their proficiency.

Nicholas is highly skilled in playing and boasts exceptional technique and musicality. It is remarkable how his expertise has brought significant enhancements in a short period. However, what sets him apart is his ability to make learning music enjoyable, which is most essential to us. Our son emerges from each lesson beaming with delight, and the effect lingers for hours. Witnessing our child's progress in the brief period we have spent with Nicholas has been a tremendous experience, and we anticipate even more remarkable results.

I had a pleasant conversation with him and sensed that we would make a compatible teacher-student duo. I am eagerly anticipating commencing my lessons with him.
