KRISTIANA CABELI
Founder of Sol Piano Studio
Born in Greece and raised in Albania, I started the first piano lessons with my mother by age three, and formal lessons started at age six at the Epirotic Conservatory of Ioannina, (Greece) with Aspasia Zerva (and with my mother as well). With the support of the Tsakalof Institute, I had my first recital with orchestra at the age of 12 with the Symphonic Orchestra of Albanian Radio – Television (Kabalevsky Piano Concerto No. 3 in D major, Op. 50). In 2012, I received a Diploma in Piano at the Epirotic Conservatory of Ioannina. I completed my undergraduate studies in Musicology at University of Arts in Tirana, Albania, with prof. Dr. Holta Sina and piano with Prof. Nora Cashku. During these years I taught piano at my mother’s school of music. In addition, I have participated in many activities and competitions in Albania and Greece. Once I moved to United States in 2016, I have been teaching at Topher Allan Music until I founded SOL in 2021. I am a Suzuki Certified Teacher, teaching more than 30 students. I hold a masters Degree in Piano Pedagogy from Northeastern Illinois University. I also have an interest in languages; I speak Albanian, Greek, English, Spanish, Italian and French.
