About

Frank F. studied piano privately under the guidance of Dr. Yulia Lipmanovich, a renowned Russian-born concert pianist and esteemed piano teacher based in Chicago who studied with the famous Tatiana Nikolayeva in Moscow, and was the protégé student of the great Rosina Lhevinne at Julliard. Due to her rich performance and teaching experiences, Dr. Lipmanovich has greatly influenced Frank's musical development, imparting the deep history of the Russian Piano School through her wealth of experience. In July 2023, he made his debut at the InterHarmony Music Festival, participating in masterclasses with Daniel Lessner and Joanna Ting. Since then, Frank has performed numerous recitals, featuring works by celebrated composers such as Chopin and Scriabin. In 2024, Frank graduated with a degree in Computer Science from the University of Iowa. Beyond his performance career, Frank has a strong passion for piano pedagogy. He has written insightful articles on Medium, including detailed discussions on Heinrich Neuhaus's method of piano, alongside other pedagogical pieces focused on enhancing piano technique, distilling the most essential information from books such as Josef Lhevinne’s introduction Basic Principles in Pianoforte Playing, Josef Hofmann’s Piano Playing With Piano Questions Answered. His dedication to teaching is reflected in the glowing testimonials from his students, who commend his ability to inspire and refine their musical abilities.

If you made it this far, Hello!

I love music a lot! I wish to share my love for music with others, and hopefully teach people my secrets so they can become great artists!

I am mostly focused on teaching classical, and I believe it is essential as a foundation for any musical style, but, if you are interested in Pop Music, Jazz, Music from Cinema/Games, etc. I can find a way to teach that as well!

I prefer to teach younger students, or adult beginners, but, I am adaptable to anything!

Frank has been a tremendous help through my advancements in piano technique and interpretation. His application of Italian bel-canto principles, as well as his natural exercises of the hands and wrists, has broadened my technique in indescribable ways. Just by watching his hands play the keyboard, I can apply his principles to create an incredible interpretation from a technical and interpretive standpoint.
