Hello. I am Nick - a fully qualified teacher, music tutor, performer and producer with a speciality working in a 1-1 setting.

I teach guitar, bass, piano, drums, ukulele and banjo. I have 12 years experience working with all ages, from adults looking to expand their musical horizons, to young children searching for the instrument that creates a spark.

I build lessons around my student’s specific passions. Experience has taught me everyone can excel, no matter their age, experience or starting point.
