Fun

“Nick is clearly very passionate about his trade and this rubs off on his students. Nick ensures that learning music is fun. My son, Jake, has been learning guitar off him for a year and loves the fact that he is learning pieces that are current and popular on the radio. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone wanting to learn music.” Rachel B

Clear and Adaptable

“Nick is a great teacher who takes the time to teach in a manner I can easily understand and pick up, fantastic to work with.” Thomas B

Engaging

“My 16 year old daughter loves her guitar lessons, and really enjoys working with Nick as her teacher. After several years her enthusiasm has not worn off which when working with a teenager is a real accomplishment!” Anna S

Develops Students

“Nick has been teaching my son for 3 years now and he has definitely added to my son’s appreciation of music. Over the years he has moved him along into a different direction from classical guitar to rock electric guitar which has kept his focus and interest level amped up enough to keep him wanting to learn and engaged. Highly recommended should you be looking for a teacher who gives 101%.” Robbie M

Great Communication

“Since starting his lessons with Nick, Isaac’s interest and capability in playing the guitar has grown. As a parent (and non-guitar player!), I find the weekly homework sheets and regular communication with Nick really helpful in tracking Isaac’s progress.” Nicola, mother of Isaac. (8)

A fantastic teaching syle

“My son Oliver has made huge progress since beginning guitar lessons with Nick. Nick has a fantastic teaching style and really engages his students, earning their respect and igniting their passion for playing. Oliver really looks forward to his lessons. I can’t recommend him highly enough.” Kate S

Knowledgable

“I was fortunate enough to meet Nick while periodically performing with a garage band. Nick helped me improve my guitar technique particularly rhythm style and demonstrated a huge array of skills with Guitar and later Ukulele. He was a patient teacher and very practiced at motivating me to improve. I highly recommend Nick to anyone contemplating intermediate to advanced level guitar tutorials.” Craig V

Highly Skilled

”Nicks ability to play anything, on anything means he's a wonderfully flexible teacher. Our son has learnt guitar from Nick for over 5 years, from when he was a total beginner at aged 10. Despite now having a full schedule of schoolwork, sport and school music he is still fully committed to turning up to lessons with Nick every week. This is totally because of Nicks ability to find music that appeals, his considered teaching style and kind encouragement. We highly recommend Nick.” Jane

Professional

“I have seen Nick teaching and interacting with others while on a course with him. He was friendly, explained instructions clearly, and came up with alternative instructions very quickly if initial ones were not understood. This is common in teaching music as we all learn differently. He was very professional, and I thoroughly enjoyed the improve musical sessions he instigated in out breaks. Would recommend hime to anyone wishing to learn guitar or ukulele.” Amanda B

Empowering

“Hello Nick. Thank you is not enough for the knowledge you feed to my two daughters. Me and my husband are really happy. As both of us don’t know how to play the guitar it’s like our inner child with what we see in the girls”. Bhelle P

Fourth Time Lucky?

“Having had three previous guitar teachers we were so pleased to discover Nick. He teaches our two boys, Rhys & Luke. They look forward to their classes and say that he makes it fun. He adapts to their personal interests & motivates them to progress.” Sandy W

“Cool”

“Nick has been our guitar teacher for the past 4 years and we couldn’t have asked for a better teacher for our son. First and foremost Nick is a great person, guitar player and teacher. His knowledge and skills not only on the guitar but on music in general are truly impressive. He is forever striving for fun and creative ways to teach that meet the needs of his students both in their strengths and interests and he always manages to get the best out of them. Nick’s approach to teaching is professional, holistic, motivating and encouraging in a fun way. He is a great role model for kids, an extremely nice person with a great sense of humour who could teach any aspiring young student guitar and make them feel comfortable, capable and valued. As well as an awesome teacher he has become a great friend to our son who thinks he is pretty “cool”. Naina- Mother of Shay.

Motivating

“I would recommend Nick above others as a music teacher as he pushes you to a high standard and makes sure you never give up.  I love him as my teacher as he always encourages me to do my best with kind words and humour.  He makes learning music fun and I feel proud of myself after each lesson.”  Georgia- Year 6 Student at St Thomas School

“We have found Nick to be excellent and Carson has made huge progress in the year he has been seeing Nick.  He has kept Carson engaged and interested.  I would not hesitate in recommending Nick as a guitar teacher.” Lisa B

“Nick was a great guitar teacher for my son. He was great at finding & teaching music that my son already enjoyed and was interested in.”Suzanne M

Positive and Clear

“Nick took over the guitar teaching at Flanshaw Road School last year.  He has showed perfect professionalism in his relationships with the school, the students and their families.  I have observed him in action with the students and his teaching style is positive and clear.  I have had only good feedback from the children and their parents about Nick and can thoroughly recommend him.” Anne L- teacher

Understanding

“Nick has been a great teacher for me! In particular because I am no gifted musician by any means but most importantly he was able to understand my method of learning and adjusted his teaching to suit the way I learned. I was very impressed by the fact that he was able to understand my questions and how I needed to visualise strumming and plucking technique!” Thomas B

Patient, talented and motivating

“I was fortunate to do some guitar lessons with Nick, as well as work with him organising a large music camp. Nick is a patient, talented and motivating guitar teacher, and I really enjoyed my lessons. When working alongside him, his light hearted and positive demeanour made the process a breeze and felt I could trust him to get stuff done. I look forward to working with him again!” Theresa M

Passionate

“Nick Cebalo is a very capable guitarist across both rhythm and lead on acoustic and electric. He has a passion for music and getting it right, so he is not only able to play at home in the bedroom but also understands the, very different skills and discipline's required when playing to a big live audience. He is also a good person and can pass on this knowledge with patience and at the correct pace to students.
