Teaching Day(s): Wednesday

Nicholas' Cello adventures first began in his hometown in British Columbia at the age of 5. Over the years, Nicholas was able to experience different teaching methods and foundations which impacted his ideology of teaching. In 2022, Nicholas was able to have the privilege of performing the first movement of Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor for the Richmond Orchestra & Chorus Association’s annual Rising Stars competition. Nicholas is currently in his third year at the Don Wright Faculty of Music of the University of Western Ontario in a Bachelor of Music program. He is the recipient of the Gordon Jeffery Award which has allowed him the opportunity to the absolute delight of working under Professor Tom Wiebe. Nicholas' goal is to provide students the environment to learn to love music and their cello. He aims to utilize all the years of his learning to teach his students to the best of his ability and in the way that will benefit his students the most.

His lesson rate is $29.00/half hour private lesson.
