Hello, I'm Gavin Nielson and I teach instrumental music in grades 5-12. I’m from Nebraska City, NE. I attended Nebraska City High School, where I was involved with band, choir, jazz band, show choir, and tennis. I obtained my BA of K-12 Music Education at Midland University in Fremont, NE. While attending college, I was in choir, chamber choir, band, jazz band, orchestra, and pit orchestras. I also received the Instrumental MVP and Outstanding Performing Arts Student in Instrumental Music awards while there. In my senior recital, I conducted two of my original orchestral pieces, one original band piece, as well as one original choir piece. I stay pretty busy outside the school day by playing in the Omaha Symphonic Winds, Beatrice Regional Orchestra, and Beatrice Community Band.
