Nicolas Jahde

Guitar Center Spokane 5702 N. Division St. Spokane, WA
My name is Nick Jahde and I teach piano at Guitar Center. I have been teaching for 8 years, and I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with a variety of students, ages from 3 to adult, in many music studios. I first started teaching in California, where I am originally from, where I taught my friends and family members. Later, I went to Whitworth University for college, where I studied Piano Pedagogy with Judith Schoepflin, which greatly refined my teaching skills. After college, I taught piano at music studios in California, and have now moved back to Spokane to continue the joy of teaching at Guitar Center. In my classroom, I love to explore the many different aspects of music education with my students. We will go over songs, scales, history, technique and much more. Also, I recognize that every student has different learning styles and preferred tastes of music, so I will tailor my teaching to their learning as much as possible, and I will often allow my students to choose a fun piece, such as a song from a Disney movie. Lastly, I love to learn from my students as well, and there have been many times where a student will introduce to me a new song I have not come across before, or they will simply amaze me by how well they play a piece. I am originally from the Bay Area in California, but went to Whitworth University for college, and have loved it here in Spokane ever since! A fun fact about me is that I can play many instruments, including piano, trombone, tuba, ukulele, recorder, baritone and bass trombone. I enjoy amateur astronomy, reading and composing music, and spend my time with my wife exploring the parks of Spokane.

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.
