I had a wonderful and enriching experience at the Frederic Chopin Music School. I took piano, vocal, and music theory lessons there. The faculty is very learned, professional, and engaged. I would recommend lessons at Frederic Chopin to anyone, whether they are contemplating signing up their child or teenager, or considering taking lessons as an adult. Grazyna is a highly committed and passionate pedagogue, and her enthusiasm for life and joie de vivre is contagious. Making music should be about sharing joy, and Grazyna really takes that to heart.

The teacher is super patient with our daughter. She challenges her and helps her achieve all her goals a step at a time. My daughter absolutely loves coming for her classes. When she gets home she wants to show us exactly what she learned. Very happy we choose this school for our daughter. Highly recommend it. Super family friendly!

I had been a student of the Frederic Chopin Music School for more then 8 years and must say that it was an integral part of my successful development as a child and eventually a teen. Grazyna is an incredible teacher, and she truly brought out a talent in me that I never knew existed. She was always nice , yet stern when necessary, which kept me focused. I highly recommend her and her school for all ages.

Frederic Chopin Music School was recommended to my parents when I was younger and especially with me jumping around from music school to music school it was the last one I attended due to the fact of it being the perfect fit. I never got comfortable or felt like I was learning much from other music schools and when I went to Frederic Chopin the teachers made me feel confident and made sure I was comfortable and enjoyed the music we practiced. I went to Frederic Chopin Music School for many years and am so thankful I had such a wonderful experience. I would highly highly HIGHLY recommend this school

Love this school!. The kids love it too. The best are the school-run recitals and performances where the kids get to perform on a real stage and get to experience the thrill of perfecting their skills and performing in front of their audience. Great experience and highly recommended.
