Lukasz Yoder is widely regarded as one of the top piano teachers in the Los Angeles area. He holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Piano Performance, awarded on full scholarship from the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, where he studied under renowned pianist and Chair of the Piano Department, Professor Inna Faliks. Other major influences include the legendary American pianist Garrick Ohlsson and his mother, acclaimed pedagogue Roza Yoder, who was instrumental in shaping his early musical foundation. Born into a musical family, Lukasz began playing the piano at age four. He has since performed in concerts around the world and is a prizewinner of numerous international piano competitions and awards. As a teacher, Lukasz takes an individualized and intuitive approach, tailoring each lesson to meet the unique goals, backgrounds, and learning styles of his students — ranging in age from 4 to 85. His ultimate aim is to cultivate a lifelong love and appreciation for music in every student. He offers private lessons both in-home and at his hillside studio, where students have access to a wide variety of instruments, including three grand pianos — two of them Steinways, one of which is a 9-foot concert grand.
