Welcome to the Nicolet High School Music Department!

My name is Jamin Hoffman (my first name is pronounced "JAY-min" - simpler than it looks!).  I use he/him/his pronouns.  I have been the orchestra director at Nicolet since the fall of 2002.  You can reach me at my office phone number (414-351-8173 Links to an external site.) or via email at jamin.hoffman@nicolet.us.

The best time to reach me in my room (E-108) is from 11:36-1:00 (4th period) on A days and 9:20-10:44 (7th period) on B days.  If you want to visit me in person, please call first to ensure I am in my room and not running errands.

Since I have been at Nicolet, my orchestra students and I have taken several national and international trips, including to Moscow and St. Petersburg; Vienna, Salzburg, and Munich; Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal-Orlando; and most recently to New York City, where we played at the prestigious Carnegie Hall.  Our most recent trip was to Disneyland in April 2023.

I often refer to playing in an orchestra as a "team sport" - my goal is to help my students learn to play together as an ensemble (the French word for "together"), which means learning how to anticipate, hear, and react to what everyone else in the ensemble is doing - much like any sports team on a field.

In addition to the orchestra, I also teach AP and Regular Music Theory, Music & Songwriting, and Music Technology.
