He took on roles as an assistant and part-time teacher at conservatories and music schools, distinguishing himself as a teaching artist at various international artistic residencies (France, Italy, Poland, Denmark, USA, Mexico, etc.).Gradually, in Nicola's musical career, the transmission of musical knowledge through individual instrument lessons, small and large groups for ensemble music, and classes for General Music has gained increasing importance, particularly within international contexts such as the "A.
