Nicolao Busse

Nicolao is a piano and keyboard teacher with a love for helping students discover the joy of making music. He’ll be graduating with a B.S. in Music Technology in May 2025, and he's excited to share what he’s learned with the next generation of musicians.

Nicolao brings energy, patience, and a genuine passion for music to every lesson. He especially enjoys giving kids a skill they can use for the rest of their lives—whether they stick with music professionally or just play for fun.

He’s the fourth of six siblings (with four brothers and one awesome big sister) and grew up in a family that always encouraged his musical journey. Shoutout to his mom, who drove him to piano lessons every Tuesday morning!

When he’s not teaching, you’ll probably find him reading (usually theology or something by Tolkien), listening to Duke Ellington, or enjoying a good steak. One of his all-time favorite gifts? His very first keyboard—the one that started it all. Nico's Favorites List
