It's a good day, to have a good day

My name is Nick Nichols, and I've been teaching Elementary General Music since August 2014, and have been teaching at Polo Ridge Elementary since the Fall of 2020. 

I'm a percussionist by study, so I love to teach children how to play percussion instruments (instruments played with hands, mallets, or sticks), but I also dabble in guitar and piano - and teaching children how to sing has become one of my biggest joys over the past few years! 

In my "spare" time, I am the Percussion Director for the Pride of Niner Nation Marching Band at UNC Charlotte; I'm a husband of 14 years to my wife, Laura, a dad to our two children Copeland (9), and Ada (6), and fur-ever parent to our dogs Murphy and Millie! 

I'm also a diehard Carolina Panthers fan, #KeepPounding!
