Nicol is the best teacher when it comes to piano. My 11 year old son recently passed the ABRSM Grade 1 Piano exam and would have been extremely hard, if not unachievable, without Nicol's supportive en... See more

Piano lesson with Nicol
Can we just say a huge thank you to Nicol and the way she is conducting our remote piano lessons with our youngest son. He is only 7 and had never played piano before. Nicol’s style is so encouraging and positive which really helps him get the most out of his lessons. He has only had a few lessons but is really enjoying it and coming on really well and that is all thanks to Nicol. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicol and all at River Music school to anyone. 5 stars all round 👍.

Francesco- A great teacher for a kid!
Francesco has been a great teacher for our 11 year old son. He has progressed quite speedily, learning the songs he likes as well as scales. They interact together well during the lesson.

Nicol is an inspiring and encouraging…
Nicol is an inspiring and encouraging teacher with the right balance between pushing me to achieve more and supporting my progress. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using my time to develop my basic piano skills from childhood - the experience is so satisfying and worth while. I feel very glad to have found her via these lockdown restrictions and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Nicol is completely fantastic
Nicol is completely fantastic. She teaches my son (Teddy) piano and he has gained a distinction in his grade 1. She is professional, talented and very engaging and simply brilliant. Teddy loves his lessons, has a renewed joy for the piano and I could not recommend her highly enough.

Great beginner bass guitar lessons over zoom!
My daughter started bass guitar lessons with Nicol over Zoom due to Covid-19. I was initially nervous about starting music lessons with a teacher you haven’t built a relationship with in real life and who can’t work with you in person to correct hand positions etc. But I’ve been delighted. My daughter is not only learning a lot in Nicol’s lessons but is inspired and motivated to practise too — and that’s been such an unexpected benefit. Even though Nicol’s presence in our home is via a small phone screen, she’s overcome that obstacle to build an easy working relationship with my daughter, to help her progress quickly and to inspire her to do more!
