“I’ve been studying with Nicole for a bit over 2 years now.  She is a fabulous teacher!  When I took up the guitar, at age 71, I was new to the instrument.  Although I had some piano lessons as a youngster, no guitar experience whatsoever.  She has worked with me weekly since then and I’m very happy with my progress.  Of course, I have a lot more to learn but I’m enjoying the process.  Nicole is very encouraging and works with me to select lesson material that I’ll find enjoyable.  She is particularly good at focusing on those skills that will benefit me over the long haul—after playing for a while, you start to realize just how important good ergonomics—be it body posture, left hand or right hand positioning—is to playing a piece well.  I foresee us working together for many years to come!”
