About Nice to meet you! I’m Caitlin Nichols, and I’m a trumpeter and music educator. I provide private trumpet lessons for beginners, experienced players, and comeback players of all ages. I also provide pedagogy-focused secondary trumpet lessons for teachers. I earned my degree in Music Education at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. I’ve had the privilege of teaching music in the NJ public schools since 2010, and I’ve been a private instructor since 2005. I perform with the Eastern Wind Symphony and the Princeton Brass Band. Making noise, simple.
