About Nick
I have grown up my whole life living and breathing classical music. If that's what you are interested in I can certainly help you on your classical journey. However, I have also managed to use my classical training to create a career also playing Pop Music. I have performed with the likes of Elton John to Machine Gun Kelly and have recorded with Justin Bieber, Big Sean etc. I can show you how to create your own incredible style which merges both classical and pop music which I think is a very unique asset!
I love helping my students realize their musical goals. The violin is one of the hardest instruments yet also the most beautiful. It is so inspiring to see the work my students put in week after week, pushing through the challenges and finding their true sound. I work with people from all walks of life and to me there is no greater joy than seeing one of my students put another piece together in their musical puzzle.
I first started teaching elementary school students when I was in high-school and have been teaching ever since over the last 10 years.
I have a double degree in Classical Music and Popular Music from the University of Southern California. I have been playing the violin for 20 years now, 10 professionally and I also teach with a Non-Profit Organization called A Place Called Home in Los Angeles.

We asses musical goals together and come up with a plan so that my students can play their preferred genre at a high level.
I work with students at every level from both complete beginners to fellow professionals who are looking to learn new techniques and styles.
Take a few lessons with different people and take note of how you feel after each lesson. If you feel particularly comfortable and inspired by one teacher, go for them!
My private student Noah playing through one of his favorite songs from one of his video games. He was so happy he had to go show his brother right away.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I tell all my students the same thing. You can e-mail me anytime with questions or ideas and I am always around to help on your journey with the violin.

Nick is a fantastic teacher! Very patient and encouraging. He's helped me focus on bow grip and intonation. I look forward to advancing more skills with the help of his lessons.
Nick has been teaching my son for 7 months now. It has been a wonderful journey. He is diligent and attentive. He emphasizes developing hard work and perseverance in students, not just violin skill. Highly recommend.
He’s very patient! It’s definitely frustrating when just starting the violin but Nick made it so much easier and I improved much faster than I thought I ever I would. Can’t recommend him enough and I look forward to continuing my lessons with him!
Nick is funny, talented, and a violin ace. He makes learning to play a pleasure. I highly recommend him as a teacher. He is particularly good with young students.
Nick is very knowledgeable and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. He's a terrific violinist. I love listening to his examples. And Nick is really patient and funny!
Nick was great, super easy to connect with and really helpful, especially with my bow technique. He’s also very up-to-date with current recording industry practices and standards, shared a lot of extra info with me!

I always offer one free trial lesson to see if things are a good fit. Then, I usually charge $70 an hour, but am open to working with different budgets if we can find a price that works for both of us.
