Bio

Nikola Spasojevic (US, RS) is a saxophonist and composer based in New York. Spasojevic brings an eclectic combination of influences to his improvisations and compositions expressed through the language of contemporary jazz.

Teaching Info

I prepare personalized private lessons based on the student’s learning goals and playing ability. Then, I outline a step-by-step process to help them achieve these within a supportive environment. We can cover a range of topics including saxophone or flute technique, repertoire, music theory, improvisation, composition, etc… (basically, anything musical I can help you with) I’ve had significant experience teaching private lessons as part of a music education internship at Codarts University (NL) and as an adjunct instructor at NYU.
