Mikhail Shilyaev

Pianist

Music

I was very fortunate to study with wonderful Deniz Gelenbe and to complete my Master degree. I then had a fantastic opportunity to stay at Trinity Laban as a Junior Fellow in Accompaniment for two years. That gave me an enormous pleasure to contribute to Conservatoire's learning process and to work with students and teachers from Vocal, String and Piano departments.
