Nick is an accomplished guitarist and dedicated educator who has been playing since 1999 and teaching privately since 2013. With decades of experience performing with a wide range of acts and a deep command of multiple musical styles, Nick brings both versatility and passion to every lesson.

Nick’s primary goal as an instructor is to give students the tools they need to create and play their music. He builds customized, proven curricula tailored to each student’s interests, skill level, and learning style. His adaptive teaching approach includes standard and tab notation, applied theory, customized handouts, transcribed songs, visual aids, backing tracks, ear training, and more—whatever helps the student learn in the most fun, engaging, and effective way.

Comfortable teaching any style and excited to help students reach their full potential, Nick’s easygoing personality, deep musical knowledge, and student-first mindset make him a perfect addition to the Drum & Strum family. We’re thrilled to welcome him to our team of world-class instructors.
