"Wonderful Teacher!"
- Melody, Minneapolis, MN on 3/8/17I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole. She is high energy from start to finish. She is patient and kind with my daughter. This is my eight year old's first experience with music lessons. Nicole does a great job balancing music theory with learning the songs, and learning how to breath properly. They are singing songs my daughter loves. I am so glad that we found Nicole to share her beautiful gift and her love of music with my daughter.

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Composition (Music)
I am a composer myself. I have written charts for big bands, jazz vocal ensembles and for myself as a vocalist with a rhythm section. When writing lyrical tunes I always try to create a sense of musical prosody so the music matches whatever message I'm trying to invoke in my lyrics.
General Music
I have been studying music for 17 years now. Music is my passion and I have gained so much of knowledge whether it pertains to theory, composition, lyric writing, solo performing or group performing. I have the tools needed to teach anyone the basics of music.
Songwriting
I am a songwriter myself. I have written many songs of my own and have showcased them during performances I have had. During college I took several classes on songwriting which enhanced my abilities to create a good lyric. With the advanced lyric writing classes I have had, I learned many methods of how to begin writing a lyric, editing a lyric, and even tricks to get passed writers block.
Voice (Music)
I have a singing background in Jazz, Theater, Opera, and R&B, and contemporary music so I am prepared to teach whichever is requested. I have also learned a lot from the voice lessons I've had over the years (such as proper breathing techniques, and air support) so I have many ways to help a young singer develop a more mature singing voice.
