Michael - Your piano teacher
I'm Michael Zuzek, a Bachelors-educated piano tutor with over 18 years of experience playing piano. I have been playing professionally and offering personalized piano lessons for over 5 years now, and it has truly been a rewarding experience. My specialities include chord theory, ear training, improvisation, and more. I teach various piano types like upright, digital, grand, and acoustic pianos to students at all levels: beginners, intermediate, and advanced, including adults. The past year I was fortunate enough to be nominated for Songwriter of the Year and Favourite Male Artist of the Year with the Independent Music Network, so I can relate to any new musician and songwriter! I would love to help you achieve your goals no matter how grand. If you think we would be a good fit, don’t be shy as I would love to meet you and get the ball rolling.
