    About Nikita S.

    4.8
    (20)
    I am a professional pianist and a composer. I began to study piano performance and music theory at the Moscow Conservatory School at the age of 5. I have performed in Russia, US, and Europe; competed throughout my teens and young adulthood. When I turned 20 and began teaching my first students, and realized that teaching is very rewarding, and most importantly, that I have a lot of knowledge to offer. I am very enthusiastic about the accomplishments of all my students. Throughout my life I was blessed to have highly professional and dedicated teachers. So I expect nothing less from my own teaching.

    My 6 year old daughter started taking lessons with Nikita in July. By now she can read music, recognize some chords by ear and practice on her own. I'm lucky to have found an excellent teacher!

    Nikita has been teaching my 12 year old son Cato for over 6 months now, and we are very happy with the results. He is very methodical, articulate and patient. Great attention to detail and discipline in practice. I would definitely recommend Nikita to anyone seeking a great piano teacher.

    I called the teacher multiple times and even contacted staff to contact him. I have tried multiple times to contact this teacher over a period of two weeks. Do not select this teacher he is completely unreliable.
