My personal interests and pedagogic convictions
I am Polish. Still since 1988 with my Dear Wife
LIDIA we are living in quite small, however very beautiful town of Parkano in the Ylä-Satakunta
region of Finland. Our two brave Sons - Janek
(Jan Karol Maksymilian) & Franek (Franciszek Filip Szymon) are started
their mature, self-governing life. They live in Finland, still due to
studies (Filip) and business (Jan) they actually spend quite a much time
abroad...

Sons, from the left: Filip &
Jan
- I am:
- born at 4th of May 1946 in Kielce / Poland.
- married; a father of two sons.
- Polish national, living in Finland
since 1988.
- nearly "self-made" and the
really happy man.

youth.
- My personal interests
Red
currants in our garden in Parkano... - you're
Welcome!
The piano, the teaching, the Fine Arts as a
whole (incl. the artistic photography), philosophy, psychology, noble
wines, alternative healing methods, Christian spirituality in Prof. J. Tischner's way, TAO, The Nature.
- And pedagogic
convictions
That is beyond doubts to me that the Chopin's
Method, which I understood through "The Zone" and that I have put
into my personal practice thanks to the Neuhaus'
magnificent interpretation of it - is the best help the pianists could ever
get!
As I understood for many years, the Chopin's Method
helps to enjoy the full taste of musical potentiality, that has been built
into our nature and that makes stronger our possibility to regard the real
"Swing of Music". As well, it changes the piano teaching and
playing into the truly fascinating inter-action!
Using this Method everybody could achieve the
proper way to real mastery in the piano, surely soon! Of course, the range of
ones personal success depends not only on THE WAY one goes along. It, one
could say – unfortunately – depends as well on ones personal talent and
musical abilities, including ones ability to work truly strongly...
I honestly recommend choosing this way! The
success will be yours; it will come quickly and surely be great!
Thank you for your visit on this page!
Yours sincerely – Stefan
