Not sure where to start? Let’s figure out what you need to work on.

1️⃣ Current Situation → Which statement best describes where you are in your jazz playing right now?

2️⃣ Your Main Goal → What area of your jazz playing would you most like to improve right now?

3️⃣ Your Preferred learning style → How do you prefer to practice and learn new material?

  • Simple, hands on, practical concepts I can use immediately + daily even if I am short on time
  • I prefer a well-structured, step-by-step syllabus that gives me a clear path and keeps me focussed on one Topic for months.

Emily Rodriguez

Your clarity, your ability to communicate the theory and emphasis on experimentation is fundamentally crystal clear. It's amazing and I don't have to re-watch - it is all understandable, but at the same time...advancing. I have purpose now in what I am doing and new found energy for improvisation.

Dear Nick, there are a lot of teachers out there but none like you.The way you explain music and theory, with love, passion, humor, visuals and logic is very unique. Thank you very very much

Michael Smith

I went to schools and received jazz education before, to be honest, you're better than most of teachers in schools. Being a good jazz educator is a totally different story from being a great performer. Some are well-known performers in the world, yet their teaching aren't as good as their renderings. Nonetheless, you're really good at both
