Meet Nicole.

My name is Nicole Cloutier and I am a professional pianist, vocal coach for world-class opera singers, and educator. I hold degrees in Piano and Collaborative Piano from Michigan State University and The Juilliard School, where I also was a post-graduate fellow. In addition to my teaching, I have spent the last few years performing at some of the most elite venues in the US, such as The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, where I was an artist-in-residence, and Lincoln Center in NYC. As someone who has made the journey into the world of professional classical music, I aim to bring the real-life skills I gained to each of my students’ experience, to whatever extent they find meaningful. I am passionate about the joy of the learning-process and sharing that with others. When I’m not playing the piano, I can be found out hiking, or hanging with my French Bulldog, Ducky.
