About Nikita

Hi, my name is Nikita. I am a professional musician, teacher and performer with more than 20 years of experience. I am originally from Russia where I started my musical education at the age of 8. I hold a Bachelor`s degree in Music from Nizhny Novgorod Music College and a Master`s degree from Nizhny Novgorod State conservatory. During my career, I have toured across the world with many bands and wind orchestras. While living in the US, in New York City, I was a tenor saxophone player at Manhattan Wind Ensemble and Brooklyn Wind Symphony. Currently, I live in Barranquilla, Colombia and provide my students with online and in-person lessons.
I would love to be your teacher if you are eager to play the saxophone, clarinet, flute, recorder or you are interested in music theory. I speak English, Russian, also basic Spanish and French. My students successfully pass band auditions, exams like NYSSMA or ABRSM music theory exam, they enter music colleges and perform at different levels.
Let`s set up a free lesson and discuss your goals in music and how you can achieve them.

I can say finding a really great teacher had been an issue for me till one of my colleagues recommended Nikita. Well, now I've been practicing for just 2 months twice a week - and I can already boast of some results! You're the best teacher, Nikita!

I had been choosing a teacher for long before my choice turned next to Nikita, which I’m very happy about. Not everyone can be so straightforward in explaining stuff. He will always understand and prompt you. Apart from being a teacher with a big ‘T’, Nikita is a very amiable, sociable and responsible person! If you are still in two minds concerning your choice of a teacher, don’t lose your time, make an appointment with Nikita!

I wanted to learn how to play the sax – and here it is, given to me as a present. I started to look for a teacher and was put on to him. I reckon he is a good teacher. He clearly breaks down information, has a creative approach to studies, always puts something new on offer, and takes his students’ wishes on board. Undoubtedly, Nikita is a fair musician notwithstanding his teaching spirit. If any acquaintance of mine sets their sights on playing the saxophone, I will certainly recommend him to them.
