Hi there! My name is Nick Snowball.
I am a pianist and composer from New Zealand. I have a passion for teaching and a natural talent for communcation with all ages.
I am dedicated to helping you become the pianist that you want to be. I will guide you through the fundamentals of sight reading, piano technique, and music theory, whilst incorporating your favorite songs into your lessons.
As a beginner, you can expect to quickly learn the concepts and techniques needed to effectively move into the intermediate level and to begin playing any music that you desire.
I believe in facilitating a life-long passion for music, whilst providing you with a great performance technique and broad understanding of musical genre.
I enjoy teaching all ages and working with adults.
