EDUCATOR
Designed to inspire young people to revel in the exhilaration of music making, his programming for young people renews the teaching tradition of his grandfather while tapping the source of joy he himself discovered in his earliest experiences as a musician.
“He knows exactly how to speak to children of different ages
and they can see themselves in him, in his playfulness, in his exuberance...”
Nick’s love for music learning, which began when he first picked up a violin at the age of three, is rooted in the family tradition.
His grandfather – the renowned violin pedagogue John Kendall – brought the Suzuki method from Japan to the United States in the 1960s.
Nick began his music education as a Suzuki kid and mastered his professional skills and musicianship at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music.
It is now his mission to bring inspirational and life-changing musical moments to young people across America and beyond.
