Hi there! My name is Nick Snowball.
​
I'm a pianist and composer from New Zealand. I have a passion for teaching and a natural talent for communcation with all ages.
My lessons are personalized to you and your goals. I am dedicated to helping you to become the pianist you want to be. I will guide you in your technique with the fundamentals of sight reading, finger skills and theory, whilst incorporating your favorite songs into your lessons.
You can expect to learn quickly and effectively the concepts needed to move into the intermediate or advanced skill levels and to be given the skills needed to begin playing any music that you desire.
I enjoy teaching all ages and working with adults.

"Nick Snowball taught my daughter for one term of piano lessons during the end of 2021.
She benefited greatly by Nick’s teaching and progressed in leaps and bounds. She always looked forward to her weekly lessons and I was excited about her potential under Nick.
We wish him the best of luck."

"Nick Snowball taught my son piano for school 2 terms in 2021. He was a complete novice and Nick was his first music teacher.
Through Nick, my son’s first experience of learning to play the piano was really positive. Nick was very approachable and accommodating and took a genuine interest in his development.
We were very sorry when Nick had to leave but really appreciated the efforts Nick went to organise another music tutor to continue lessons. We wish him well for the future."
