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.

Nikola began playing classical saxophone when he was just 9 years old in Subotica (RS). Later, he moved to Rotterdam (NL) to pursue his undergraduate degree at Codarts University of the Arts. In 2022 he came to New York City to continue his studies with a master’s at New York University.

While at NYU, he has had the opportunity to perform at well-known venues like the Blue Note with the Dezron Douglas ensemble, the Frederick Loewe Theater with the NYU Jazz Orchestra and the Provincetown Playhouse with the David Liebman ensemble. He also leads his own group and performs as a side man at a variety of clubs and bars around the city. He began his DMA degree at Stony Brook University in 2025 where he also works as a teaching assistant. Recently he recorded his first album as a band leader, Poor Man’s Summer, which is out on all digital platforms!

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), as an adjunct instructor at NYU and as a Teaching assistant at Stony Brook University.
