About Jeff
My name is Jeff Pietrzak. I'm a teacher and piano player and live in Baltimore.
I started playing music quite young. At 4 years old I was figuring out how to play the small organ in my parents' house. At 6, I started taking lessons and by age 9, I was already playing for local church services.
For my high school and college years, I continued to provide music for church services, played piano for musical theater, and performed with vocalists.
Since that time, I have worked almost exclusively as a teacher, providing instruction in Spanish to high schoolers and music lessons to students of all ages.
After many years of working on my craft, I decided to create this site. My goal was two-fold: to share with more people this unique way of learning music and to remove the significant cost barrier to a great education in the arts.
Apart from my teaching work, I continue to play and perform. With my current project, I work as an arranger, composer and pianist for the live performances of Danny Joe's Tree House, an award-winning kids' show that embraces the spirit of classic children's TV.
In closing, here is information about my education: As a college student, I majored in modern languages and received a B.A. from The University of Scranton. I also studied at the Berklee College of Music and used its core curriculum as a guide in creating this site.
