About natesviolin

Natesviolin is a celebration of all things violin. I'm Nathan Cole, violinist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and I want to help you get the most out of your instrument. Daily blog posts give you a glimpse into my practice rooms and concert stages. Articles cover everything from choosing strings to winning auditions. The photo gallery offers a fun look at my life with the violin. I also have stories to tell from my years as student, teacher and performer. And videos bring everything together to show you how to take your playing to the next level. Finally, you can contact me to set up a lesson here in Chicago. With a session personally tailored to your needs, you'll take new confidence into the practice room and wherever your violin life leads you!
