Hi, I’m Nicholas Carothers and I’m a full-time private music teacher.  I operate lesson studios in South Central Pennsylvania, where I teach multiple instruments including guitar, bass, drums and ukulele.  I enjoy working with all ages and teach children as young as four.

I’m a lifelong musician myself, having begun my own music studies as a young child. Over the years I have studied music theory and technique on multiple instruments with many talented musicians.  I gained extensive performance experience in venues such as night clubs, casinos, vineyards, country clubs, and music festivals. I’ve also performed guitar-based sing-alongs for groups of children at preschools, learning centers, and homeschool conventions. 

In addition, I’ve developed a guitar curriculum has been circulated world-wide, and I’ve trained other teachers in the most effective scope and sequence for teaching guitar, really the “key” to ensuring minimal frustration and maximum joy in playing the instrument.  I’ve also scored and published high quality songbooks for guitar, ukulele, flute, recorder, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, violin, and cello.

I’m also convinced that for children and teens, learning an instrument really goes beyond the music itself.  In my own students, I’ve seen that music makes them smarter, more confident, more social, and more creative.  I believe that music can be very important to a growing person and can have a major effect in a person’s life.
