Fontana Piano Studio

His empathetic and holistic approach to teaching really makes an impact on how you perceive piano and how you can use it to express yourself in a powerful way.

I took this lesson to my life as well to realize that no matter what I do moving forward, if I take that same type of intense passion and purpose with me, I can create and do many things I didn’t once think to be possible.

I have had multiple instructors that were either too lenient or too strict, but he was willing to be honest with me while also being understanding and caring.

He has a great attention to detail and brings out the best in me while not destroying my ego.

Nick taught my boys (ages 10 and 13) for only a short period due to us moving out of the area (unfortunately), but his impact was felt and will continue to reverberate.

His passion for and knowledge of the instrument is truly unmatched, and his gentle manner of teaching will help you get where you want to go, and perhaps even further.

He has taught her to give life to her music by pointing out the nuances of each piece.

His professional level ability at the piano seeps into the lessons, and it is clear that he has the technical, theoretical, and musical skills to optimally prepare his students for every level of examination.

He always has a clear and penetrating understanding of the music at hand, what its overarching structure and essential musical idea is, as well as how to make progress towards being able to bring those elements out in my playing.

There is a holistic quality to his teaching - piano lessons are a vehicle for exploring self-expression and self-confidence, and that work amplifies the quality and depth of his students' performances.
