About Nicola
Born and raised in Milan, I took my first steps in music as a self-taught guitarist, performing in the Milanese folk scene before expanding my musical journey. At 25, I moved to London to study piano, composition, and music production at the London Centre of Contemporary Music, where I earned my degree in 2020. During my five years in the city, I immersed myself in one of the world’s most exciting music scenes, collaborating with musicians from all over the globe across a variety of musical settings. In 2021, I relocated to Edinburgh to pursue a Master’s in Sound Design, expanding my expertise in audio technology, sound effects production, generative composition, and orchestral arrangement. In 2023, a family emergency brought me back to Milan, where I continued working as a performer, educator, and audio professional. As of January 2025, I am once again based in London, working as a teacher, performer, sound designer, audio engineer, and sound recordist.

My approach to music education is rooted in interpretation, improvisation, and a deep understanding of the rules and mechanics behind modern music. In my lessons, students have the freedom to explore pieces of their choice or even their own compositions while working on exercises designed to enhance their mastery of the instrument within their preferred musical style. Key areas of focus include harmony, chord theory, rhythm, improvisation, and performance—whether solo, in a small group (trio), or as part of a larger band (4+ musicians). While some of these concepts may sound technical or intimidating, I ensure they are introduced in a relaxed and accessible way. My priority is to nurture the student’s connection with their instrument, making learning an engaging and enjoyable experience. Reading sheet music and notation will be covered, but while it's certainly a valuable skill, sight-reading proficiency is not a primary requirement in my teaching approach. Instead, I emphasise creativity, expression, and the joy of playing music.

Nico is a great tutor, his relaxed teaching style makes you feel at ease whilst learning and his clear explanations make the concepts easy to pick up. He is both kind and good fun, and our daughter always enjoys his lessons!
Nico taught my 10-year-old son. He has a great passion to share his skills. He is reliable, patient and has intuition to find what works for his pupil. My son was very frustrated with lessons when he started with Nico and he managed to reignite his interest in learning this instrument. He uses playfulness and humour to make practicing more fun. He broke down the music my son wanted to learn into small sections that they worked on over weeks which helped to make the music of his choice more accessible. I can't recommend Nico highly enough.
