Guitar Center Charlotte 8813 J.W.Clay Blvd Suite A Charlotte, NC
I first found the drums when I was 13 years old, the first time I played them. Immediately, I had this feeling that playing drums was all I wanted to do. Since then, I’ve spent my time studying and learning the instrument, and falling more and more in love with it. Now, as an adult, I have the privilege of playing drums at Elevation Church, as well as recording drums for aspiring artists and musicians alike. I also play live shows with artists and bands. But one of the most fulfilling things in the world is being able to help others achieve their dreams of playing the drums at whatever capacity they see fit. Whether it’s playing in a school talent show, starting to play for a local church, or recording and performing live with artists.

Nicholas Johnston
Distance: mi
Guitar Center Charlotte 8813 J.W.Clay Blvd Suite A Charlotte, NC
You gotta have the courage to be bad at the start, because later…you won’t be. That’s the simple yet encouraging advice Nick received when he first began to learn the art of playing guitar. And because he was brave enough to follow that bit of insight, Nick is now fluent in the language of acoustic and electric guitar, bass, as well as drums. At the very beginning of his music journey nearly 18 years ago, Nick was drawn to play guitar simply because he really wanted to perform the theme song from the Halo 2 video game, which, to him, had a dynamic flow. From that point, Nick’s appreciation for self-expression through music continued to blossom. He has since explored various genres of music, learning in the process that playing instruments allows an artist to communicate in ways that words sometimes don’t get across. As an instructor at Guitar Center, Nick looks forward to inspiring his students to find some of the really beautiful gifts that playing music can bring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
