Nick's teaching is absolutely transformative. His understanding of vocal technique is profound, nuanced, and deeply embodied. He listens attentively and guides with great patience, kindness, and encouragement. I'm so grateful for Nick's instruction and his enormous influence on my progress as a vocalist. I highly recommend Nick to vocalists at all levels.

Dr. Nicassio was my first voice instructor. He is a wonderfully attentive and caring instructor who sparked a love of singing for me. His wealth of knowledge is evident and he has a very clear way of articulating technical concepts suited to each student’s understanding. He has years of experience both as a teacher and performer which gives his students a first hand look into what it is like to sing professionally. I’m very grateful to Dr. Nicassio for all that he has taught and helped me with.

I only had experience as a singer in a chorus ensemble, not as a soloist, and thanks to Dr. Nicassio’s individual lessons, I have built a wonderful foundation. With his support and guidance, I am singing with more confidence, not just in the ensemble, but also in various musical theater projects, and as a soloist! Dr. Nicassio’s experience as a musician, conductor and vocalist is truly inspiring, and his voice is so beautiful too! Not only is he talented, he is also incredibly kind, warm, open minded and supportive. I look forward to our time together each week. He is like family to me!

In the beginning when we signed Anna up to study with Nick, it was designed to maintain her love of music/singing during a tough time with COVID, with the added benefit of helping her improve her skill level. I didn't nag her to practice, instead wanted her to have a creative outlet since she couldn't act or perform. Because of Nick’s training, singing has become one of Anna’s favorite activities. She practices regularly on her own, without prompting, and in fact, it has shaped her entire piano training as well. We are very grateful to Nick for keeping her engaged and also noticeably improving her skill level.
