About Nico
Hi! I'm Nico Padden. I teach private lessons in voice, guitar, and piano in my home studio in Floral Park, NY, and I give in-home lessons on certain days in the Rockville Centre and Roslyn neighborhoods.
I've been teaching private lessons for 6 years. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music: Vocal Performance from Ithaca College, as well as a Master's degree in Theatre Education from Emerson College. I'm a certified theatre & music teacher in New York State and Massachusetts.
I was raised in a musical family; my mom is a music educator and my dad, a self-taught guitarist with immense talent. My parents both play in an Irish folk band, and I've been studying music and musical instruments from the time I was four years old. Music is my passion, my calling. I love sharing the joy of making music with my students.
