About Michael
Hi! I’m a pianist, composer, and teacher with over 25 years on stages and in studios around the world. I’ve played the grand piano in the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, jammed in Kempinski ballrooms, written and arranged for Ukrainian superstars Ani Lorak and Mikhail Poplavsky, and shared the stage with killer jazz cats and symphony orchestras. Long story short: I’ve lived music inside out.
Teaching is my absolute favorite thing on the planet.
I take everyone — 7-year-olds touching the keys for the first time, teenagers prepping for exams, adults who always dreamed of playing but thought “I’m too old” or “I have no talent.” Spoiler: age and “talent” are myths we destroy in the first 10 minutes.
What you can learn with me:
Classical masterpieces that give you goosebumps (Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Chopin — the real stuff)
Jazz improvisation that makes you feel like you’re flying
Your favorite pop, rock, or film tunes — played exactly the way you hear them in your head
Exam prep that actually works: ABRSM, Trinity Rock & Pop, AMEB — my students smash them with Merits and Distinctions, and without turning into robots
My lessons are never boring. No “sit straight and suffer through scales for 40 minutes.” We find YOUR sound, YOUR style, and make the piano feel like an extension of who you are.
Trained in Kyiv (a teacher of music diploma), toured the world, taught hundreds of students from complete beginners to pros.
If you’ve ever thought “I wish I could play…”, drop me a message. We’ll turn that wish into reality — and have ridiculous fun along the way.
Because, as I always say:
“Time dissolves into music.”
Let’s make some time disappear together.
Ready when you are!

My lessons are built around YOU (or your child) and what you actually want to play. No dusty method books from page 1 unless that’s your thing.
For kids 7+ and complete beginners
I start with short, game-based introductory courses (8–12 lessons) that teach solid piano technique and basic music theory without killing the joy. Lots of duets, improvisation from day one, funny rhythm games, and instant songs they already love. Most kids leave the first block playing 3–5 real pieces with both hands and begging for more.
For teens and adults
We jump straight into your goals:
Classical (ABRSM, Trinity Classical, exam prep or just for pleasure)
Jazz & improvisation
Pop/rock/movie soundtracks by ear and from lead sheets
Songwriting and arranging your own music
Every lesson is 100% customized. You choose the repertoire, I make sure your technique, reading, and musicality grow fast and stay healthy. Online or in-person, same quality.
Trial lesson (30–40 min) is always free or half-price — we play, talk goals, and you’ll leave knowing exactly how we’ll get you there.
Never too late, never too early. Drop me a message and let’s make the piano your happy place.

Michael really teaches piano with heart — something I didn’t get from my previous tutor. I’m excited to keep learning from him and hope to become a great pianist one day
Excellent musician and dedicated music teacher. He nurtures and cultivates interest of my boy. Thanks Mike.
Michael is a very experienced pianist who has helped me learn to play the piano a lot faster and focuses a lot on improving technical skills. I highly recommend him to anyone who is trying to take their piano skills to another level.
Michael is teaching my daughter to play the piano. He is not only a very professional musician but he also can find an individual approach to students, find styles suitable for a particular child and make a class interesting. My daughter always enjoys his class and waits for it with excitement.
