Niki Johnson

I am a versatile and active music educator who aims to foster learning, discipline, and creativity. I have a wealth of experience teaching private lessons, group lessons, and tutoring school music camps for percussion and drum kit students aged 5 - 18.

I believe private music education, and music education programs, are crucial to a student’s development and learning, regardless of their future occupation. Through music education a student develops a sense of curiosity and creativity, can see tangible results from their own discipline and focus, develops a skill that can be improved and returned to at all stages in their life, improves hand-eye coordination, and exercises both their logic and creative parts of the brain; all skills I believe are crucial to the development of a person. Not only does music education provide these skills, it also begins a person’s personal journey with music as an art form, and that journey in myself and in others is the thing I am the most passionate about sharing, nurturing, and developing.
