Ninuca Tkeshelashvili is a concert pianist and dedicated mentor whose artistry bridges the profound traditions of classical music with contemporary interpretative depth. Pursuing advanced studies at the Musikhochschule Münster, her work as both performer and educator reflects decades of technical mastery and genuine pedagogical passion.
Born into a musical lineage in Georgia, Ninuca began her piano studies at an early age, demonstrating exceptional talent that led her to prestigious institutions across Europe. Ninuca Tkeshelashvili has been dedicated to teaching since the age of sixteen, working with both beginner and advanced pianists. Her pedagogical approach, distinguished by its balance of technical clarity and artistic depth, has received increasing recognition and appreciation.
She teaches internationally, offering both online and in-person lessons to students of diverse levels and backgrounds. Her work emphasizes the development of a refined technique, a deep understanding of musical structure, and the cultivation of an individual artistic voice.
Since 2022, she has held the position of Dozentin at the music school of the Scharounschule in Recklinghausen, where she has built and leads a class of more than 25 students. Under her guidance, students regularly perform in concerts and achieve notable success in national and international competitions.

Her recent masterclasses in Durban, South Africa brought her into contact with pianists of various ages and artistic stages.

As a mentor, Ninuca is committed to nurturing the next generation of pianists — through masterclasses, one-on-one tuition, and competition preparation that transforms technical precision into artistic voice.
My work is devoted to helping each pianist uncover their own musical identity. Within the rich framework of classical tradition, I encourage a sense of freedom—where individuality, imagination, and personal expression can flourish. True artistry emerges when technical mastery and inner voice become one.
My work focuses on guiding each individual toward a profound understanding of the repertoire. This includes structural analysis, historical context, and theoretical insight, all integrated into a unified approach. Technical development and mental preparation are cultivated alongside artistic depth, equipping the pianist for concerts, competitions, and examinations
