Piano Instructor

Evan Grahek

I have been teaching for 13 years in Los Angeles and Knoxville and maintain an active teaching studio. I love working with students and families, and love seeing students realize their musical potential. I believe music is huge part of the human experience and giving that to people, even in a small way, is what I believe to be the most important part of why I do what I do!

I started playing the piano at the age of twelve. I developed a passion for performing, and by seventeen I was performing some of the most difficult repertoire written for the piano. I participated in master classes taught by Dr. Sam Rotman, Dr. Robert Ward, Professor Adam Wibrowski, president of the European Chopin Society, and Dr. Robert Lehrbaumer. I won First Place in the 2013 and 2015 CAPMT Piano Sonata Competition in Los Angeles and placed in several other competitions in California. I have also performed in many international festivals and venues in many countries including Musical Bridges in St. Petersburg, Russia; Concerto Fest Europa in Austria and Slovokia, and several tours in Albania, Croatia, Israel, Italy, Canada, and many states in the U.S, including Carnegie Hall in NYC in 2019.

Evan Grahek is an amazing piano teacher. Evan taught my three children for over three years and worked with each of them in a unique way. He found out what motivated them individually and took them from beginning players to confident performers. He is a patient, kind, encouraging and fun teacher! I highly recommend him!

Melody A., Parent

Evan is the best piano teacher my children have ever had. I brought him three kids with three very different skill levels, learning styles, and attention spans (including one with ADHD), and I was immediately impressed with how quickly he could find what worked well for each of them. He struck the perfect balance of making them feel comfortable and confident while still encouraging them to challenge themselves and improve. H helped them find their own best pace while building a solid foundation in theory and good technique. He is both an amazing pianist and amazing teacher.

Wyatt, A., Student

I started piano lessons with low expectations because of past experiences with previous teachers. Evan was better than I could have imagined. He helped me progress so quickly and I learned so much. I discovered I actually love playing the piano and even like practicing!
