Incredible technique
Krzysztof does not only have the technical abilities to play everything with ease, but his way of solving technical issues and giving practical advice to improve the students' abilities is second to none.
Chopin
He was educated in the best Polish tradition both in musical terms and in the art of Chopin Interpretations. His unique insights are not only sought after worldwide in masterclasses and competitions but are truly remarkable.
Making learning fun
Next to his serious abilities on the piano, he is an amazing person to hang out with. Sense of humor, humility, speaking directly from the heart would be words that describe how it feels to have lessons with him.
Studio at home
No matter if live on the spot or live online lessons – he is prepared in the best possible way. Krzysztof’s equipment for online lessons is something out of this world. You will not only see every detail of his precious advice in 4K quality and multiple cameras but also hear every musical detail through his state of the art microphones.

Krzysztof Jablonski
“Over last decades education in the field of piano playing dramatically changed. Students hear about how it should sound, but they don’t get proper technical training. Majority of pianists I meet are experiencing some sort of technical issues I fix it, but it is not a quick fix. It takes time. It needs long term commitment.”
Always curious of new experiences. Fearless in taking huge challenges. Traveled the world for more than 35 years, performed over 2500 concerts - solo, chamber, with orchestras, ballet groups, singers and other instruments. Collaborated also with jazz pianists. Never limited to the same repertoire. Invited many times to be a part of huge, interdisciplinary projects such as ballet spectacles. || Pianist. Dedicated educator, proud of his successful students of all ages.
