I am passionate about teaching piano and music lessons in all settings: classroom teaching, private lessons, and group lessons. I have experience in teaching students of all ages from as young as 4, and in all levels. I am committed to all my students in their musical journey to achieve their goals, no matter how big or small, and to establish a nurturing environment to develop a life-long appreciation and interest for piano and classical music.

Indiana University Jacobs School of Music P110: Class Piano for Beginners
“I really enjoyed this course and Miss Nicha. She was extremely nice, caring, helpful and really wanted us to do the best we can. She was always there to help us if we needed it and always answered any questions we had.”
“Nicha was a great instructor and made the course fun and encouraged us to keep trying as piano is a new language and it can be difficult. She was a fair grader and easy to approach.”
“She is always friendly and kind to everyone in the class, does a great job supporting students, and did a great job of helping me learn how to play the piano.”
“What I liked most about this class was the
inclusion that Nicha implemented into the
classroom. Nicha was always there for students
who needed assistance and kept our class organized
and up to date by posting assignments on a Google Document with the class. Nicha is a very approachable person if you were struggling in the class and always offered to help students on her own time during office hours.
