Hi there! I'm Nick Kashka, a musician from Overland Park, KS. I teach trumpet and music theory in the Kansas City area in addition to my work of playing trumpet around the area and substitute teaching for music programs. I teach both beginners and advanced musicians and specialize in classical playing. I received my Bachelor's degree in music from the University of North Texas where I studied under Caleb Hudson and Jason Bergman. In 2023, I received my Master's degree in music at UMKC where I studied with Keith Benjamin and Kurt Dupuis.

Taylor lessons to meet the goals of the student. Accept all ages and backgrounds. I have a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from UMKC Conservatory and 30+ years of experience.

I feel I'm good at working with an individual's strengths and weaknesses to bring out their personal best. I strive for optimal technical training, balanced with the recognition that violin playing should also be rewarding & fun musically. I've taught in the KC area since 1978. My undergrad degree is MusEd. I have a MMus and DMA coursework in violin performance. Viola students accepted as well. Every student is unique!
