Testimonials

  • I've progressed faster in about three months with Joshua than I have over the prior five years of guitar. Joshua is an excellent teacher and a pretty cool guy. Definitely would recommend.

    —Youssef Negm
    Geneva, Switzerland

  • Far from traditional systems, Joshua adopts an American-style teaching approach based on practice rather than theory alone. It’s a way of making accessible to everyone something that has long been foreign to the French-speaking learning methodology, which too often focuses solely on theory at the expense of practice. I highly recommend these courses.

  • Joshua Nichols is not only talented but truly gifted by our Heavenly Father. His love for excellence is unrivaled and something he strives to achieve with all of us who have had the opportunity of being taught by him. Notably as any great teacher, Joshua is extremely patient with his students, affirming and encouraging us especially when it seems so difficult. If you are thinking of a school to join, stop looking, Nashville Music School is exactly what you need.

    —Rebecca

  • It is very rare that a musician of this caliber is even available to teach others. Joshua Nichols' practical application of music theory combined with his versatile background as a performer has taken him all across the globe. Definitely a top notch, 5 star guitar instructor.

    —Travis Settles

  • There's nothing one dimensional about learning the guitar with Joshua! Classes with him go far beyond pure technique & musical mechanisms. It's a love story that I feel he wants his students to embark upon: to learn the guitar is to learn about and grow to love a guitar's nature itself! Discovering this new world & harnessing a deep respect and fascination for this noble instrument of such beautifully infinite & wonderful possibilities means that every second of my classes with Joshua is charged with musical energy, information & passion. I am so excited for this journey!

    —Darine
    Geneva, Switzerland

  • I had an amazing learning session with Joshua! I can easily see he is a great musician, very positive and full of passion about music. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to live with music but not just learning the notes and how to play!

    —Nihal
    Geneva, Switzerland

  • My 10 year old son, who no longer wanted to continue the piano after 3 years with a "classical" teacher, seems to have regained his taste for music after the first hour with Joshua. I hope it continues like this! Thanks to Joshua!

    —Ingrid
    Geneva, Switzerland

  • Joshua is a great teacher, both in regards to technique and theory. He is a great guitar player and he has a deep understanding of guitar as an instrument and a solid knowledge of theory. He is very good at transmiting his passion and at explaining the necessary concepts.

    —Irene
    Ornex, France

  • Joshua is an exceptional music teacher, so patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about helping his students discover music and their abilities. He creates a great atmosphere where learning feels natural and motivating. I highly recommend this school!

    —Teresa
    Ferney-Voltaire, France

  • Nashville Music School allowed me to acquire the fundamentals of music theory and develop my own unique style of guitar playing. The school truly ignited my passion for music, thanks to clear and accessible lessons, hands-on practice, and insightful discussions that enriched my growth both as a musician and as a person.

    —Jonathan Etitinwo
    Geneva, Switzerland

  • Had a few lessons with Joshua before leaving Switzerland and they greatly helped me in knowing which skills to concentrate on according to my own personal goals. Both his passion for guitar and his knowledge in theory are a must have!
