Nikita Shabalin

Hello music lovers!

My name is Nikita and I have been playing piano for 14 years now. In 2010, I immigrated to the US from Russia and shortly after fell in love with classical music. Throughout the years, I’ve studied with many musical masterminds, such as Dr. Jonathan Korth (head of piano of the University of Hawaii) for a year and conductor Geoffrey Loff (backstage conductor of the Berlin Opera house) for the last 6 years, and a few others, who have all helped me become a competent piano player and musician.

I have a big passion for teaching! I want to spread and share the love I have for music with others through my instruction.

I specialize in romantic era classical composers, such as Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Bortkiewicz, but am obviously open to helping you learn whatever music you wish to, as well as helping you with technique and music theory.
