Nick Russo School of Music 70th Avenue, Queens, NY 11375

"Nick is a wonderful teacher. My 16 year old son had lessons with him for half a year and enjoyed his experience very much. He is very enthusiastic and talented musician and makes the lessons engaging and motivating. I could see the progress right away. My son is looking forward to continue working with Nick."

"Nick is an amazing music teacher. He is very passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable. My 13-year son started lessons with Nick 6 months ago. It is amazing how much he learned already and how interested he became in learning guitar. He is teaching him ear training, reading music and technique on the instrument. We are very lucky to have him as a music teacher. I would highly recommend Nick as guitar teacher. We appreciate you, Nick!!!"

"Nick is an exceptional guitar teacher who has had a profound impact on my son's learning experience. Despite my son's initial reluctance and tendency to become easily distracted during lessons, Nick has succeeded in fostering a newfound love of guitar in him. What sets Nick apart as a teacher is his ability to strike a balance between technical correctness and making the learning process enjoyable for his students. He is not content to simply teach my son how to strum a few chords - instead, Nick ensures that my son is building a solid foundation of technical skills that will serve him well as he continues to progress as a musician. At the same time, Nick recognizes that learning an instrument should be fun and engaging, and he makes a concerted effort to make lessons enjoyable for my son. Through his creative and engaging teaching style, Nick has inspired my son to practice more and to take pride in his progress. Overall, I would highly recommend Nick as a guitar teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at making guitar lessons both enjoyable and educational. Thanks to Nick's guidance, my son has developed a newfound passion for guitar that will undoubtedly serve him well in the years to come."

"Our daughter took guitar lessons with Nick for a year, and he was always inventive and encouraging. He always checked in with her to hear what kinds of music she was interested in, and what would motivate her to practice at home--in a fun and non-judgmental way. Nick's enthusiasm was contagious! I highly recommend him has a guitar teacher for kids."

"Nick Russo's approach to teaching empowers my nine year old daughter to guide the lessons. What music is important to her, what songs she likes are the framework for her banjo lessons. Nick is energetic, engaging and affirming of her efforts. He builds upon my daughter's interest and curiosity by weaving elements of music theory into a natural conversation. Nick is teaching her as beginner banjo player but also is creating the foundation and opportunity for the musician she could become one year, five years from now. And, they have fun!"
