He can make it sing, dance, and even roar. He's not just good at one thing; he can also play the piano and the viola, which is like a bigger cousin to the violin.

When Nigel first started playing music, he played lots of classical music. Think of music you might hear in a fancy concert hall, with big orchestras. But Nigel is a musical explorer!

He decided to try out other kinds of music too. He learned to play jazz, which is super groovy and often has lots of fun improvising, and klezmer, which is lively music often played at celebrations. He loves to mix things up!
