Introduction
My students get to have fun while learning to become accomplished, talented musicians! My lessons are full of mastering technique, learning musicality, and understanding musical concepts, all of which are required to become a talented musician. At the same time, they're also full of laughs and silly and creative ideas that make practicing FUN and make the journey of learning an instrument and becoming a musician a great experience! I love getting to know each of my students, children and adults, individually- their personalities, challenges, and strengths. I love watching the "ah-ha" moments when someone understands a musical concept or uncovers a new strength for the first time! I also love helping experienced students grow in ways they wouldn't have imagined they were capable!

Nicolle has been an incredible violin teacher for my two daughters, and we couldn't be more grateful for her dedication and creativity. My oldest daughter has been learning with Nicolle for the past four years, and her progress has been remarkable. Nicolle primarily uses the Suzuki method, but she skillfully incorporates other creative approaches that truly bring out the best in her students. Her teaching style is engaging, using real-life examples that make lessons both fun and effective. Nicolle also emphasizes the importance of consistent home practice, listening to music, and daily exercises, which has instilled a strong sense of discipline and passion for music in both of my daughters. I highly recommend Nicolle to any parent looking for a committed and inspiring violin teacher!

We are so thankful for Miss Nicolle giving our 7 year old daughter the opportunity to learn to play violin in the comfort of our home! Our family is in a very demanding season so the online lessons has made it possible and sustainable for us. Miss Nicolle was very helpful during the process of starting as we were very new to this about 6 months ago. She went above and beyond helping us locate a string shop to rent the violin from which was super helpful. It has been easier than I imagined to help our daughter with her lessons. The instruction videos are easy to follow and very motivating for kids. She is very good at teaching the students but also guiding/ teaching parents how to better help as parents are most likely new to this like me. Miss Nicolle is very encouraging and energizing in both the videos and in her lessons. Often includes games in lessons which is very engaging for the kids. She is supportive and understanding during moments of frustration and she continues to instill confidence and courage in our daughter which has been fun to see. Miss Nicolle pushes just enough to provide challenge and instill growth in our daughter each week. You can tell she has lots of experience working with kids because she is very good at it even in challenging situations. :) We look forward to the remainder of our daughter’s violin journey. Highly recommend you trusting Miss Nicolle with your ( or your child’s) violin journey.

My son wanted to learn to play the violin so after doing a ton of research I came across Nicolle. We live in New York and she is out if state so I was a little worried but after a month of lessons my son is playing. He love practicing and looks forward to his Saturday lessons with Nicolle. We had a rough start and she was so fast to help my kid back in track.. definitely recommend.

Nicolle is an excellent Violin instructor. She delivers her lessons with good direction and knowledgeable insight. She motivates you to embrace the Violin and its magic. Of course, as we are beginners, Nicolle has her work cut out for herself. But, her incredible positive energy keeps us engaged and wanting to strive to do our best. (oh, I should say, she teaches two of us---adults) She is patient and generous during this awkward beginning stage. Thanks, Nicolle, for being such an awesome motivator.

I didn't know where to even look to find a violin teacher for my 6 year old daughter. Nicolle showed up on Thumbtack and turned out to be the perfect fit for us! She is talented, sweet, kind, and patient. She is able to keep my daughter's interest during her lessons and gives me great tips on fun ways to practice. She's even available during the week if I need to text or talk to her about questions I have. This is very helpful. Nicolle is all about positive praise and has a gift teaching young children. I am so glad she is part of our music life. She is wonderful. -Elizabeth Jensen (mother to 6 year old violinist, Caroline)
