I have played piano and trumpet since I was 5 years old. I began my journey with music in Europe at Henryk Wieniawskis School of Music at age of 7. At that time I already performed on stage. My career as a musician began in Poland where along with Classical piano and trumpet I was influenced by such Jazz greats as Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Thelonious Monk, Joe De Francesco, Joe Zawinul, Miles Davis, Eddie Palmieri, Chucho Valdez, Woody Shaw, Keith Jarret and McCoy Tyner.

For children who are at a beginner level, I like to use Piano Adventures until they reach level 2B, and then switch them over to the piano series edited by Keith Snell from the Neil A. Kjos Piano Library to introduce them to the serious study of classical music and theory. At this point, I also begin to create my own lesson plans to introduce them to musical concepts and repertoire they otherwise would not encounter in the conventional methods. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace.

By trying to find out what inspires the students, I can successfully tailor my instruction to his or her learning style. Read More

There are many preparatory series available for beginning students. I am not particular about which series I work with.

There are many wonderful books that can be easily purchased online. Sheet music is also available online. I can show students where to look for the music they want to learn. Read More

I know that this relevance is what keeps students interested and playing their instruments in the long term, whether recreationally or professionally. Read More
