Nicola has proven herself to be a consistent asset to the piano teaching community. Her podcast episodes are clearly communicated, easy to listen to, relevant, and relateable. She covers a wide gamut of advice on running an independent music studio.

Nicola has taught me so much as a piano teacher. She has so many great ideas to keep students engaged and excited about learning. I’ve started using more games, more improvisation, composition, etc. and my students are loving it!
