PhD Composer & Educator | Composition, Theory, Songwriting, Orchestration | All Levels | Classical, Contemporary, Pop

I had Niki as my Greek and French instructor and she is absolutely the amazing! I decided to take Greek since wanted to travel to Greece and Niki being from Athens gave me the best language experience. Not only did she recommend great sources for the language but also music, art, sightseeing, colloquialism, costumes... I had an amazing time during my trip to Greece thanks to her since she also recommended local restaurants and hangout places and could use my language skills.
As for French, same thing. She lived in Paris and so was very articulate and was very focused in making sure that I learned the proper sounds and gestures. I strongly recommend her as a language teacher. I give my recommendation without reservation and can guarantee you will enjoy, have fun and learn a lot with Niki. She is the best!!!

Niki is an exceptional piano teacher, distinguished by her rare ability to seamlessly bridge the worlds of modern and classical music. For us, it has been of particular importance that she maintains an active career both as a composer and as an academic, which greatly enriches her teaching. She has the gift of making every lesson engaging and inspiring, guiding her students to embrace music not only as a body of knowledge but also as a living practice.
Her approach is equally effective with adults and with children, as she possesses a unique gift for communication and an ability to convey her passion for music with clarity and warmth. Calm, disciplined, and deeply dedicated, she has the remarkable talent of inspiring even the most restless child to develop both technical skill and musical understanding, while cultivating a genuine love for music.
What makes her truly exceptional is the way she inspires children to take their first, tentative steps into composition, encouraging them to create even small pieces of their own. At the same time, she guides them with equal ease through both classical repertoire and contemporary works. She demonstrates a deep sensitivity to each student’s individual needs, skillfully tailoring her lessons so as to maintain a high standard of teaching while ensuring that learning never becomes tedious. In this way, she succeeds in fostering both discipline and joy, allowing students to flourish musically and personally. I highly recommend her!

One of the most dedicated, talented, prepared, and caring educators and musicians I have met. Niki is a rare find and I can't recommend her enough.
