A path that started at the piano and turned into teaching.
I began piano at nine in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, and have spent the years since turning that training into a way of teaching other people.
Piano, at your own pace
For beginners and for anyone coming back after years away. We build repertoire around what you actually want to play, from classical technique to bossa nova and MPB.
Music for ages 0 to 7
Sessions built on rhythm, movement, singing, and play. They develop listening, coordination, and language long before a child is ready to read a score.
Who the lessons are for.
Five ways of working, one method: listen first, then build the lesson around the student in front of me.
02
Adults
First lesson at forty or first lesson in twenty years — both are a good place to start.
03
Babies & toddlers
Rhythm, movement, and singing for ages 0 to 7, with a parent in the room.
04
Neurodivergent learners
Sensory-aware pacing, predictable structure, and room to move when it is needed.
05
Events & workshops
Live piano for weddings and ceremonies, hands-on music sessions for schools.

“My aim is music education that is accessible, warm, and effective — one that respects each student’s time, body, and particular way of learning.” Nicoli Uzun Music educator, Dublin
What people say.
From parents, adult students, and the people who have booked me to play.
“Nicoli is incredible with kids, my daughter loves her and her classes. Nicoli knows how to teach and deal with each child, she knows that each child has different ways to learn and she works with this during the classes. I love her.”Mariana GalloGoogle review · 4 weeks ago
“Nicoli came highly recommended by my son Arthur’s speech therapist. We were wrapping up his autism assessment, and music lessons seemed like a great way to help with sensory issues and social interaction. We were unsure if he could handle a full hour-long lesson, given that he couldn't sit still, lacked focus, and had very limited speech. For the first two months, I participated in the lessons alongside him. We saw clear progress with every class. With great care and patience, Nicoli gradually built up Arthur’s confidence. Now, seven months later, he takes lessons with her one-on-one; he knows the names of several instruments, has his favorites, and receives all the attention in the world—which is exactly what he needs most. He absolutely adores Teacher Nicoli; he waits by the door and greets her with hugs and kisses. She respected his pace, and today we are reaping the rewards of that connection. We are so grateful! ♡ My other two daughters also take piano and guitar lessons with Nicoli... Catarina has made amazing progress on the piano! Clarice only started guitar recently but already feels confident enough to keep learning... both of them always mention how patient Nicoli is and how she knows exactly how to bring out the best in each of them! We are so happy with our choice of Teacher Nicoli! ♡”Gizelli VitóriaGoogle review · 4 weeks ago
“A Nicoli é uma professora de música excelente! Meu filho faz aulas com ela desde 1 ano e 1 mês, e isso fez toda a diferença no desenvolvimento dele, especialmente na coordenação motora e no incentivo à fala. O mais impressionante é a sensibilidade da Nicoli em perceber quando ele está pronto para dar o próximo passo. Ela respeita as individualidades de cada aluno, em vez de seguir apenas um padrão baseado na idade, o que demonstra o quanto é uma profissional atenta e dedicada. Meu filho ama música, ama as aulas, e esse momento se tornou algo muito especial na nossa semana. Além disso, a Nicoli cria um ambiente seguro, acolhedor e cheio de carinho, o que incentiva ainda mais a música dentro de casa. Recomendo de olhos fechados!”Lais VarellaGoogle review · 4 weeks ago
