Nicole Minielli
Voice and Piano
As a child, my parents recognized my love for music and enrolled me in the local youth chorale and piano lessons. In grade school, I participated in band, chorus, and school and community theater programs. Then, I attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester where I refined my storytelling and vocal techniques and learned to perform songs and operas in English, Italian, French, and German.
PERFORMANCE
I performed the leading role of Elisabeth in Les Enfants Terribles by Phillip Glass and a scene study from The Medium as the character Monica. I also received the Ornest and Junior Jury awards for my Recital performance and academic success. Post-college, I was the featured soloist for Ars Choralis in a tribute performance to Leonard Bernstein, led by my former piano teacher and youth chorale director, Barbara Pickhardt.
MORE THAN JUST A MUSICIAN
Outside of teaching music, I enjoy being a music fan, practicing yoga, reading, playing video games, and watching TV and movies. But my favorite thing is spending quality time with friends and loved ones and being a pet parent to my two dogs and cat!

“Through lessons, I hope to cultivate an environment of joy, exploration, and healthy technique that you can bring home to practice with. Remember, music isn’t about perfection, it’s about expression! I look forward to meeting you and guiding you along your musical journey!”
