I took lessons with Nicco Tyson for about a year, and he’s truly an outstanding harmonica teacher. I was initially skeptical about taking lessons over Zoom — especially for something as nuanced as bending notes — but Nicco made it not only possible, but incredibly fun and effective. His teaching style is patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Each lesson was thoughtfully tailored to my progress, and I found myself improving week after week, even in a completely virtual setting. Nicco helped demystify techniques I had struggled with for years. I only stopped lessons because of a change in my job schedule, but I absolutely plan to return when I can. Whether you're a beginner or someone looking to refine your skills, I can’t recommend Nicco enough. He’s the real deal!

Taking guitar lessons with Nicco has been a truly transformative experience. He's not just a fantastic musician, but also a gifted teacher who genuinely cares about his students' progress. Nicco's passion is contagious, and his extensive knowledge of guitar, particularly his expertise in West African styles like those of Ali Farka Touré, has opened up a whole new world of musical possibilities for me. He helped me reconnect with my love for the guitar by making learning fun, engaging, and culturally enriching. I can't recommend Nicco highly enough – he's the best guitar teacher I've ever had!

Nicco is great – easygoing, adapts to your level, and extremely proficient in his instruments. He's especially good at helping you lean into the part of playing you really like!

Nicco is awesome! He's got great energy, and I liked him and his style immediately. He keeps me on track, is extremely knowledgeable and talented, and can always identify what I need to work on. I was excited to recommend him to a friend who's been seeing him for some time now, and now I am recommending him to you, world. Price also seems very reasonable.
