I believe that expression is an act of freedom. The mission of the school is to share the joy of free expression through knowledge, sincere work, and the creation of a community inspired by art and motivated by musicianship.
In my opinion, quality musical education is most crucial in the early stages of the musical learning process. This recognition aligns with the practices of renowned music institutions such as the Central Music School in Moscow, which has produced numerous exceptional pianists. Often early musical education is neglected and fails to receive the attention it deserves. It is with this realization that I established this school—a place where I hope to guide the learning process inspired by devotion.

Nace, my piano teacher.
A year has passed since I decided to re-start learning to play the piano. During my elementary and high school years, I attended a music school, but I had to pause this practice due to my studies. The desire persisted and came to life in my mature years. Who would teach me? The quick answer from my son-in-law was Nace Slak. I made the call, and I was warmly welcomed.
After a year, I can say that it has been one of my best decisions lately. Nace, with his knowledge, skills, talent, incredible dedication, discipline, gentle firmness, and precision, creates a quality, encouraging, and understanding environment for my musical, piano, and personal development in every lesson. At times, I get a bit frustrated due to clumsiness and slowness, but my teacher remains steadfast and unwavering in trust and encouragement. He skillfully supports my interest and joy in playing the piano and engaging with music.
With an appropriate didactic approach and various exercises, he guides me on the path of different challenges. With his help, I become a more subtle, precise listener to music, piano tones, rhythm, and the dynamics of playing. Thus, I explore and discover new dimensions of my potentials. For me, the piano lesson with Nace is also a lesson for life. The process of learning to play the piano reflects my life strategies and habits, which are good to revisit periodically.
I am aware that teaching a mature adult is different from teaching children and teenagers. Nace excels in this role. Youth and maturity complement each other beautifully, and I am grateful for how rich this intergenerational collaboration can be with mutual respect.

"Few months ago, my daughter (8 and a half) expressed the wish to learn playing the piano. We had second thoughts, as we didn't have a piano at home, but it turned out to be a good decision. Playing the notes is super fun, even if sometimes she gets upset if she thinks it's to hard. With just one lesson per week and some small practice at home, any kid will be able to play some partitures in short time...at least with a teacher like Nace. :) Grateful to meet such a dedicated professional, with positive vibe and good connection with young students!"
