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.

I have been playing piano for two decades and French horn for over 15 years. I studied at UMKC's Conservatory of music, have played in K-State's top ensembles and marching band, as well as countless other solo and small ensemble gigs throughout Kansas City. My teaching focuses on building excellent fundamentals through songs that are fun to play. The better students develop strong basics the more fun songs they can play! Music shouldn't feel like a chore, so I work with my students to build practice habits that are enjoyable while improving their skills.

I am a private & class music teacher for lessons on vocals, piano, flute, and clarinet. I work well with all students but I have a soft spot for neurodivergent learners like myself. My approach is always to teach the whole person and work towards mastery of your craft while having fun. Curious if we’d be a good fit? Reach out for a consultation and demo lesson. Let’s bring out the musician in you. Happy Practicing! 😊

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!
