Nicole was named a Finalist for the 2025 Georgia State University Brumby Concerto/Aria Competition, and a past winner of the Atlanta Flute Club Masterclass Competition. Nicole has spent summers at the ARIA International Summer Music Academy, Varna International Music Academy, and the Newfound Chamber Winds Summer Music Festival as a flute fellow.

Teaching Style
Music education is instrumental for a student’s growth, and I appreciate you choosing me to toot some flute! With my students, I believe the most growth comes from environments where the student and teacher share a mutual respect for each other. I teach with a non-judgmental, caring and honest environment and I tailor to each student’s needs, while keeping their personal goals and objectives in mind. I make sure my students feel respected, cared for and motivated at the conclusion of each lesson. I also believe that students should feel open to talk to me about any struggles that interfere with their playing mindset.
Curriculum
I can teach remotely through Zoom or in the Bergen County, NJ area over the summer months and Atlanta area from August-May.
Teaching is catered to the student's goals and objectives, which are discussed at the first lesson.
