 1990

A future piano teacher is born

One late night in March, I make my entrance into the world.

My full name is Nikolas Nelson Nuñez, born to my parents who have been married 34 years now. Incredible people and even better parents.

1996

I start taking piano lessons

I began wondering why I needed sheet music to play. Secretly, I would find and use patterns to play my classical pieces successfully. Sneaky, I know...hehe...

2002

I start playing in Church

This is where I fell in love with piano and learned how to play with creativity,  feeling & emotion. No sheet music, just chords and rhythm.

2005

I begin teaching adults how to play like me

Adults from Church ask me to teach them my secrets. Within my first year of teaching, I had over 30 adult students.

Early 2008

I quit piano lessons

I've been trained and competed classically for over 10 years. I've also figured out a better way to teach adults how to flow and improvise without needing sheet music.

Launch my website

I need to share my teaching methods with the world. So, I paid a developer $1,000 to create my first website and I begin selling my first online course.

Start my YouTube channel

As a way to expose more adults to my methods, I begin uploading free snippets of my teaching online.

Quit Civil Engineering To Teach Piano Online
