What to Expect

I believe music is for everyone, whether you're just beginning, picking it back up, or aiming for the stage.

Each lesson is thoughtfully tailored to the individual student, blending strong technical foundations with creativity, curiosity, and personal expression. I bring extensive performance and teaching experience, with credentials verified through Thumbtack and Steinway Teachers Directory.

I begin with a free trial meeting or lesson, where we get to know each other and discuss your experience, interests, and goals. This session is a chance to talk openly about expectations, learning style, and musical direction. From there, I design a customized plan of study, selecting repertoire and approaches tailored to your individual strengths, needs, and aspirations. Whether you’re preparing for auditions, returning to music after a break, or exploring a new instrument, our goal is to support your growth through clear structure, creativity, and encouragement.

With over 20 years of experience in solo and chamber performance, teaching, and collaborative piano, I started the Teaching Studio to inspire across disciplines, generations, and borders.

I earned my Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where I also worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. I taught applied piano lessons, keyboard studies, and worked closely with both undergraduate and graduate students in performance.

Before that, I completed two Master’s degrees in Piano Performance and Piano Chamber Music at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, one of the leading conservatories in Europe. I also spent time as an exchange student in Vienna, focusing on performance practice and interpretation.

I’ve helped students develop personalized programs of study, prepare for competitions and performances, and reconnect with music after years away. I enjoy working with each student to shape a path that fits their experience level, interests, and goals.

I started teaching during my master’s program in Warsaw and have been doing it ever since. I quickly realized how much I enjoy working with students, guiding their development, and sharing the process of learning and discovering music.

My teaching is rooted in the idea that music helps us grow as people. It creates connection, fosters understanding, and reaches beyond background, nationality, or identity. I believe in music as a tool for both personal expression and deeper community.

I’ve worked with:

🎓 University students preparing for recitals, exams, and graduate school auditions
🌍 Adult learners through tonebase community, an international platform for advanced online study
🎻 Children and teens in structured music schools and private studio settings, in both Europe and the United States

  • My piano studies with Piotr have been joyful and transformative. While reverence for the music itself is central to his teaching, Piotr has the technical mastery borne of years of rigorous study with world class teachers. Most importantly - he’s a kind and very gifted teacher. Janet..

  • My experience with Piotr, my piano coach, is outstanding. He uses a personalized coaching approach in a dynamic supportive environment. This approach has helped me to grow in fingering, phrasing, and timing. He encourages marking scores, and this helps me immensely. He demonstrates correct hand and fingering, and other techniques that I would never have discovered on my own. He recommends listening to other performers when working on the piece that one selects. His feedback is always on the mark. He has helped me beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Piotr as a piano expert to help you to grow and meet your personalized goals.

  • I have been taking lessons with Piotr for over a year now - both in person and remotely. He is an amazing musician and able to adapt to a wide variety musical styles and ability levels. Wonderful to work with, and never once late.
