About Nicola Rivosecchi

Ciao! I’m Nicola, an Italian piano and guitar teacher with over a decade of experience helping students of all ages discover the joy of making music. I truly believe it’s never too early—or too late—to follow your musical dreams.

My teaching style is flexible, practical, and tailored to what you want to achieve. Whether you’re drawn to Rock, Pop, Jazz, Soul, Funk, or R&B, I can guide you, with a special focus on improvisation in Jazz and Rock. Maybe you want to learn your favourite songs, jam with friends, or prepare for ABRSM and RockSchool grades—whatever your goal, we’ll build a path that works for you.

Whether you want to dive deep into groove and harmonic understanding without reading a note, or prefer a more traditional path learning to read sheet music, I adapt to your style. Beyond that, I can provide focused classes on music production, composition, or general musicianship.

I hold a degree in Piano Performance and Production from LCCM and a Masters in Sound Design from the University of Edinburgh, and I’m fully DBS checked. Most importantly, I’m here to help you enjoy the process and grow as a musician.

Let’s make music together—get in touch!

Cancelation & Rescheduling Policy

I require 24 hours’ notice for lesson cancellations. In case of sudden illness, I’m flexible as long as you let me know before the scheduled start timeIf a cancellation happens with less than 24 hours’ notice, I will do my best to reschedule the lesson within 7 days.

If we find a slot that works for both of us, the lesson won’t be lost. That said, while I’ll always try my hardest to accommodate you, finding a suitable time isn’t always guaranteed.
