Thank you so much for providing such wonderful lessons for my daughter who has been taking individual lessons with you for a year now. You not only demonstrate a deep knowledge of music, but a passion for teaching and the enrichment of others music education. Finding the right barometer of working with the student at their level and ability, while pushing the student to grow and develop their skills is a balance that you have great strength. You also show compassion and interest in my daughter as a whole person to further her confidence and development in life outside of the piano. Creating confidence with performing and self advocacy are extra benefits my daughter has gained. Thank you for helping my daughter continue her love of music.

We appreciate Nickalus’ patients and kind instruction. He’s taken the time clearly explain
everything in instruction and communicate with parents in detail. After a few lessons, my child
was requesting that we stick to the lessons in following sessions and have Nickalus as her
instructor. We appreciate his positive attitude.

Nickalus has been an absolutely amazing instructor for [student]. [Student] is still just at the
beginning. Learning the first steps of music theory and how a piano works. To understand why I
feel Nickalus is so remarkable you have to know just a bit about [student] first. [Student] is very
shy when starting new things and could use a bit more confidence in himself. Every class,
Nickalus always begins talking with [student] and getting him comfortable. He shares with
[student] his enthusiasm for music. I wish Nickalus and everyone could hear what [student] says
after class. He talks about how much fun each class was. He wishes the classes were longer
and he has a big smile on his face. That transformation in [student] is what makes Nickalus
such a wonderful instructor.

You’ve been an outstanding piano teacher for [student 1] and [student 2]. We noticed that since
[student 1] has started with you, he has taken off with piano. He comes home and shows us,
with a lot of excitement, the latest he has learned, which includes proper posture, hand position,
and great note recognition. We also value the communication from you and their weekly practice
notes/goals.
[Student 2] had been struggling with her piano lessons but after switching her to you, we have
seen a lot of improvement. She is no longer lost and frustrated when she practices. She has
actually been reading the notes as opposed to memorizing one song for a concert. The flash
cards you made for her have really been helping with her practice this last week. Overall, she
feels more confident than before and walks out of her lessons with you with a positive and
cheerful attitude.
Thank you for being such a great piano teacher for them. You have the experience but you also
have the ability to connect and communicate well with them, which is invaluable.
We look forward to continuing on with you as their piano teacher.

[Student] started piano lessons with Nickalus a few months ago. [Student) really enjoys his
lessons with him. He has learned a lot in just a few months. I really like that he teaches how to
play as well as music theory. He has been very encouraging and supportive and has given
[student] great tips and tricks toward helping him learn how to play, read music and hand and
body positioning while playing. I also love that he writes down notes for [student] in a notebook
so he can review what they did in the lesson throughout the week. It has really helped him
remember while practicing at home as well as help me to know more about what he is doing in
the lessons. We look forward to [student] learning and growing as a musician and to continue
our lessons with Nickalus.
