ABOUT ME, THE TEACHER
My name is Nikkol (Wirta) Daniels & I began my music adventure at age 4, classical training at age 7 & piano pedagogy at age 15 under the direction of Laura Boyer & Judy Reynvaan & mentorship with Helena Smith. I have taught private music lessons for over 30 years and with that experience I tailor lessons to each student according to their needs.
I take my passion, art & business very seriously; striving to maintain high standards & ethics in my studio & teachings. As a member of GHMTA, WSMTA & MTNA, students have opportunities that they would otherwise not have access to.
It is very important to me that my students understand basic music concepts, comprehend elements of music & interpret music creatively. Students should be imaginative, creative, & inspired to feel their lives being enriched by music. My long term goals for my students is to make them a better person through music and that they make music a part of their life that will last them a lifetime.
ABOUT THE STUDIO
The studio isn’t affiliated with any school district. However, lessons are to be treated with the same level of importance as school & sports. Once you register remember your commitment to your music lessons and studies when scheduling other activities.
Students have access to a Baldwin acoustic piano, lending library & other supporting materials. Students will learn Music Terminology, Rhythm, Sight-Reading, Technique, Theory, & History which are covered during the year. Students are encouraged to explore various styles & bring music to their lessons that they would like to learn.
PROGRAMS & SERVICES
Piano/Keyboard Lessons (ages 4 thru 18) ~ Based upon age, level & ability, students are assigned for either 45 or 60 minute lessons; Group classes are once a month in place of individual lessons. Students develop core music skills as they recreate music of various composers.
Group Classes (ages 4 thru Adult) ~ The benefits of Group Classes for students are performance practice, theory games, & getting to bond with their peers. It also helps students to know that others are in it with them! There is no Group Class for Adult students at this time, but this is subject to change.
Adult Piano/Keyboard Recreational Music (ages 18+) ~ As a beginner or someone who hasn't played in a while, adults can succeed in lessons. Most importantly, they can use music as a stress reliever, for relaxation, and family enjoyment.
Accompaniment & Performance ~ I accompany studio & non-studio musicians, in competitions, festivals, & other music events. I also perform as a pianist/keyboardist & vocalist for various events: school concerts, weddings, funerals, dinner parties & church services.
Song Styling & Arrangements ~ I have rearranged and styled songs for musicians of all levels who perform publicly. This is a time consuming process and prices are tiered based on client needs/wants
