Classically trained Pianist with B.M. & M.M. in Piano Performance

Nicoleta S.

As a pianist, I am deeply drawn to the inclusive, connective power of my instrument. Through its remarkable versatility and rich sound, I strive to bring to life a diverse range of musical works, showcasing classical music’s rich history while highlighting the works of underrepresented composers. My ultimate goal is to use my art to promote unity and strengthen communities globally. Currently, as the fourth Bergos Air-Artist in Residence, I believe that music is one of the most powerful tools for cultivating change and building a better world.

I recently completed my M.M. in Piano Performance at Longy School of Music of Bard College. Before that, I earned a summa cum laude B.M. in Piano Performance, with a minor in Creative Entrepreneurship, from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee.

As an educator, my primary mission is to inspire my students to find their artistic signature while discovering their unique voice. I have been teaching students of all levels over the last six years at various esteemed institutions, hoping to empower young artists to become their best selves through the arts. I continue to expand my artistic voice through piano seminars, workshops, and pedagogy classes, and I set high yet realistic expectations for my students’ growth. With experience teaching a variety of age groups across the U.S. and Europe, my approach focuses on developing strong technique, sharpened musicianship, and deepened artistic curiosity.

My main goal as an educator is to inspire my students to find their artistic signature, while helping them through the power of the arts to become the best version of themselves.
