Lukas Olejnik

A native of Prague - the Czech Republic, Lukas Olejnik (b. 1987) is a pianist, composer, music educator and music publicist living and working in Prague, the Czech Republic. He was trained at his hometown´s own Prague Conservatoire, Charles University and other two leading institutions of higher learning in the field, the Bard College Conservatory of Music (New York) and the Longy School of Music of Bard College (Boston). In his predominantly solo and chamber output he likes to ponder the relationship between music and classical dance. He teaches at the Prague Conservatory of Dance and International School of Music and Fine Arts Prague. Simultaneously, he writes for the Opera Plus journal and performs whenever and wherever possible. He is actively engaged in the business of musical theatre (Musical Theatre Karlín - member of the orchestra).
 

I strongly believe that foundations of every successful private studio have to be grounded in clearly stated orientation towards each student´s individuality and uniqueness of their preferences. Whether it is a pop song, classical sonata, jazz standard or an iconic rock riff one wants to master, there is never only one type of approach leading to a satisfying result. With this in mind, I try to teach in a way that develops a set of essential skills applicable to variety of styles and musical situations.
