Nils has experience teaching both privately and through the school system, extending to independent music schools and community engagement programs, which has allowed him to be involved with different methodologies and values in education.
While Nils’ primary focus is on the AMEB Syllabus, he combines it with sight reading, rhythm games and playing duets which can range from classical to modern pop, film and video game music.
Whilst teaching the fundamentals of technique, his aim is to develop strong listening skills and to promote critical thinking on how to approach problems independently, particularly in his students own practice between lessons.
Nils teaches beginner to advanced, and is flexible with learning arrangements. He holds a current Working With Children Check and offers a trial lesson free of charge.
