About
Hi, my name is Nikola. I am a professional accordionist with a degree in Classical Accordion from Musical Academy of Montenegro, currently pursuing a new MA in Trieste, Italy.
During my career I competed in numerous competitions all over Europe: “Zvezdane Staze” - Kragujevac, Serbia “Akkordeon Fest” - Graz, Austria “Harmonika Fest” - Tivat, Montenegro “Eufonija”- Novi Sad, Serbia etc., winning Absolute first prizes. One of the most important achievements is a World championship -‘ Laureate’ title in the Trophee Mondial in Rodez, France in 2017.
Besides academical and professional achievements, I performed around Europe on numerous seminars, festivals and concerts with world-renowned professors such as pr. M. Bjeletić (Serbia), pr. V.Vasović (Serbia), V.Kujala (Finland), G. Dragsvoll (Denmark), O. Douyez (Belgium), F. Deschamps (France) and one of the most famous accordion composers of our time Vajčeslav Semionov (Russia).
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, if you're here, it probably means you need support in some aspect of your music education. With a playing experience of over 18 years and the experience of private tutoring of children and youth in the High School of Music in the Old Royal Capital of Montenegro. My study programme focuses on versatile soloist studies, spanning different genres and eras, for beginners and advanced no matter the age.
I combined learnings from the international scene to create an individual approach that would encourage the growing love for this instrument.
My classes focus on:
- Proper instrument and body position
- Technique of right and left hand
- Different style of fingering adjustment
- Bellow control
- Sight reading
- Solfeggio
I hope to see you all in my online classroom!
