About Solar Music
I am a Vancouver-based jazz musician and am an active member of the Vancouver jazz scene with 10 years of experience in playing the guitar. I hold a Bachelor of Music (BMus.) in Jazz Studies, and have studied under Juno-award winning Oliver Gannon, Juno-nominated Bill Coon, and have taught music to folks of various levels, ages, and musical styles since 2016. I am a multi-instrumentalist that can teach piano, bass, and ukulele, as well as theory, improvisation, composition, and arranging. The long list of events and venues that I've performed at includes the Vancouver TD Jazz Festival, the Fort Langley Jazz Festival, the Kiwanis Jazz Festival and many more. I have been performing as a session musician for many years, and in many different contexts.

Nicholas is a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and composer hailing from New Zealand and South Africa. He holds a Bachelor of Music in Composition and Arranging as well as Jazz Performance from Canterbury University. He has had the opportunity to study and work with amazing mentors and musicians like Tom Rainey, Michael Story, Darren Pickering, David Berkman, Dave Dobbyn, Delaney Davidson, Nadia Reid, Pat Pattison, and Richie Pickard. He has performed as a touring musician, a busker, in musical theater pits, and as a session musician in recording studios. Nicholas has made a career in music by being in love with the idea of songwriting and composition. He flourishes in moments where he can write and be creative or assist in other people's writing. His writing credits cover a broad range of musical styles as well as other mediums such as dance and visual media. As a teacher, Nicholas has had 15 years' worth of teaching experience with people of all skill levels and ages. His students have gone on to win awards, record their own original music, and become professional musicians. He has taught people from all walks of life, from at-risk youth to the children of A-list celebrities. Along the way, these experiences have refined his teaching to a relaxed, yet practical approach that centers the student's own personal taste and experience, while creating a fun learning environment. Over the years this collected wisdom has now evolved into Solar Music Academy's value of "Joy and Community Through Music"

Nick is a great teacher with a lot of experience teaching, performing and writing with multiple instruments.
He taught me guitar and music theory, giving me practical techniques that allowed me to learn to play the music I enjoy, improvise and jam with other musicians and begin to write my own music.
I'd recommend Nick for all age groups and skill levels. He is great at explaining ideas at all difficulty levels to make sure you can get playing and comfortable on your instrument as soon as possible!
Couldn't be happier!Nick is a kind and patient teacher, who challenges me to be the best musician that I can be. He has an extensive knowledge of music technique, composition, theory, and history, and is well versed in many instruments. It's a pleasure taking class with Nick every week, and I would definitely recommend him as a teacher, regardless of your experience level. Looking forward to discovering more about the bass guitar from him!
I am currently taking bass guitar lessons with Nick, and I love every minute of our lessons! He is fun, knowledgable and really patient. I always come out of our lessons with practical tips and he has really helped me with my technique and musical understanding. What I especially love is how he uses the music that I really like - it makes me that much more motivated to practice. Highly recommended!!!!
