Musical Experience Nick has taken guitar class in his high school since the 10th grade. He learned the theory as well as how to read and write music. These courses have given him musical experience and useful knowledge needed to compose his own music, or play songs of other composers. Nick has been playing the guitar since the start of the summer of 2012. Much of his experience comes from performing at church every Saturday for 200+ people each time. From this, he has learned every chord on the guitar, as well as what they are named. These performances have also given him useful skills to stay in timing when playing a piece on the guitar.
