About me
I am Maxim and I am thrilled to guide you on your musical journey. With a rich educational foundation from the prestigious Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire and further advanced studies at the Royal Northern College of Music, where I earned distinctions in my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and an International Artist Diploma, I bring a deep understanding of piano performance and education.

Teaching Philosophy
As your teacher, I aim to create a nurturing environment where creativity and discipline go hand in hand. My teaching approach is tailored to fit each student's unique learning style, helping you not only master the technical aspects of piano but also develop a lifelong appreciation for music. We will explore various musical genres and incorporate technology to enhance your learning experience.

Beyond the Piano
I believe in a well-rounded life. Outside music, I enjoy skiing, engaging with the arts, and participating in chess, activities that enrich my teaching and personal growth. These experiences allow me to bring creativity and fresh perspectives to our lessons.

At PLUK, I am dedicated to fostering your musical abilities and helping you achieve your personal and professional music goals. Together, we will explore the vast world of music, harness your potential, and set the stage for a rewarding musical journey.

I look forward to meeting each of you and starting this exciting chapter together,
