Jessica Nickel holding violin - Anton Nickel
I have been teaching violin and viola for ten years in the private studio setting. I attended University of Vermont for my bachelors degree in music education. After seven years of living in Vermont, I moved to NYC to study education at Teachers College. I am working toward my doctoral degree. Currently, I teach music in New York City public schools and enjoy writing, crafts, and amateur Linux programming in my spare time.
