Jeff is fantastic! He offers a variety of techniques and methods I can practice to overcome the challenges and bad habits I developed over the 20 years I didn't have piano lessons. He's flexible and understanding of my schedule - being an adult student, unexpected conflicts sometimes arise. He's incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and provides helpful critiques (and praise when I earn it!) I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone interested in learning piano.

Jeff Kazukiewicz with "A Lifetime of Music" provides weekly violin and piano instruction for my son and daughter. Member Comments: Jeff is an excellent musician and instructor. One could not ask for a better music teacher. There are many approaches and curriculums for teaching music but I think the most important thing about an instructor is "can they INSPIRE the kids?" and Jeff has done that.
My kids love practising and having their lessons with Jeff and I believe he is the main reason they are doing so well. At first, I was admittedly concerned how well a teacher could teach both piano and violin without focusing on one or the other, but that hasn't been an issue at all.
Jeff is an excellent keyboard teacher. He has brought our 16-year-old to the point of playing concert level Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt etudes/sonatas and working on a Mozart concerto. Jeff is very detail-oriented and sometimes they spend the entire 60 minute lesson working on just one piece or movement and we can hear the difference in our son's playing.
