I'm certified as an Instructor Taubman Approach Teacher!

I'm honoured to say, that I've been granted the Instructor Level in the prestigious Taubman Approach Teacher Training by The Golandsky Institute, and from now on I'm Certified Taubman Teacher. This achievement means I've become the first and only certified Taubman piano teacher for Poland and the second in the UK (1st in Scotland!)

This wouldn't happen without an amazing teacher & mentor, Deren Eryilmaz, who since late 2021 guided me through the approach, sorting out my pianistic limitations and teaching me how to teach others. I wouldn't be where I am without you, Deren.

Thank you to Edna Golandsky for her endless knowledge and support. I feel lucky to be able to work under your watchful eye during Piano Workshops in Vienna and in your New York studio

My gratitude to Mary Moran for being a wonderful and supportive mentor, who helped me go through the path and become a certified teacher. I'm happy I had a chance to work with you in person at your studio in Albany.

Thank you to Robert Durso for putting me into Deren's hands back in 2021, and for your huge knowledge which you shared with us during Piano London Workshops & Masterclasses back in 2023. And last but not least, thank you to John Bloomfield, which I had a chance to work with in his New York studio.

Thank you Edna, Mary, Robert & John, for accepting me into this prestigious group of world class Taubman Approach Teachers.

"Cat's Songs - 17 Haiku for Piano". Released.

I'm happy to announce that the new album "Cat's Songs - 17 Haiku for piano" composed by Bartłomiej Oleś was launched on the 8th of December '23 under Polish publisher Audio Cave. After a long break - six years! - since my last solo release the new one is finally here. I'm very pleased with the sound and vibe of those little pieces which are perfect when you relax, meditate or while reading the book. Of course, I reccomend this jewel to all music lovers who are interested in such a set up and sound.

An excerpt from the liner notes:

"Cat’s Songs" is a very special album for me for several reasons.

First of all, although my name brands the music, I do not perform a single note on it. This task was undertaken by the exceptionally talented pianist Mira Opalińska. I have to admit this was a tough one, since the music is really not as simple to play as it seems. Like the eminent Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson once said – „I really feel that you understand these simple little pieces of mine, which not all classical players do – you understand that it is not easy to play simple music well.” It takes a great deal of awareness, humility and a willingness to delve into the music to capture its spirit. For this, I thank Mira very much.

You can listen full album across all streaming platforms as well as buy the phisical CD which is available worldwide from Audio Cave bandcamp website or direct from me (contact via email).
