About our music school based in Warsaw. We are open for children and adults who aspire to enter the world of beauty, the world that creates the chance to harmonious development of personality, widens and deepens aesthetic sensitiveness.
Our Academy educates in playing piano, violin, guitar, cello, flute and recorder. We also teach solo vocal singing and theory of music, i.e. schooling in musical hearing combined with rhythmic. This program is enlarged by the history of music in higher classes.
Our teaching is aimed towards students at all levels. Starting from elementary to advanced (comparable to UK Grades 1 to 8).
Two different levels of our music school tuition:
- playing instrument enabling for further professional instrumental education,
- developing general musical sensitivity.
Unisono Academy of Music specificity can be summarized in two aspects:
- It employs a group of music virtuosos and pedagogues who both have outstanding artistic and teaching experience. And, last but not least, they all have positive attitude and love working with students of music.
- Students have the opportunity to frequently present their artistic achievements to the general public in a concert hall. These public performances stimulate their concentration and contribute to greater efforts in preparing new programs which bring them joy and satisfaction.
Our Academy is jointly created by its teachers and students – by their efforts, achievements and joy from common passion for music.
The Unisono Music Academy has started from a perception that music is for everyone (adults and kids) and grown to challenge people who differ. In other words we make an effort to give every audio training to teaching, uplifting and enriching another generation of artists.
A heart of aspiration, passion and imagination, the feeling is impressive and electric. We strive to dedicate every songs lesson to teaching, inspiring and enriching the following generation of musicians.
We educate according to people desired needs and requirements, whether that be getting lessons as a uplifting activity, moving music exams or being an expert musician.
Routine concerts and shows just take our students from the classroom on to the stage efficiency. To clarify we believe regular master tuition, practice and stage performance are coming to the core of every musician achievement.
We play repertoire and prepare for the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music international music exams.
As an official partner of ABRSM in Poland Mazovian Voivodeship. We cooperate and fully prepare to all Exam Grades from 1 to 8. Grades are accepted for example in the Berkley Collage of Music in the USA.
Musical tradition is in the roots of our Music Academy
Zofia Zwolińska created school as part of her unique teaching project in 2008. The plan was to create unique teaching experience which is blend of technique of masters and new approach of the musical education which will focus on student and not the exam grades even if there are ones in the international exams. The student is in the center, and his/her development is the most important thing. The decades of musical tuition experience are now part of our sophisticated plans. And the focus on musical sensitivity and technique pays off in the fact that our Music School in one of the most recommended places to learn.

An original form of education based on long-standing tradition and innovative pedagogical experience
Our goal is to present musical achievements on stage without negative stage fright. We teach on the basis of pedagogical tradition and the achievements of modern instrumental pedagogy. The education is provided by professional teachers with musical education, who are also concerting musicians. This makes it possible to ensure the highest quality of teaching. As this form of education has been used for many years, the student develops under the guidance of a chosen pedagogue, having contact with the teacher’s information at all times.
No stressful exams as part of our original program
An important aspect is that the form of stressful internal examinations is not part of the educational plan offered by our institution. For this reason, each of our students has the opportunity to check their progress at one of the many concerts of the Unison School of Music, which take place periodically at least 5 times a year.
Pictures and recordings of individual concerts (of students and teachers) are available in the gallery tab.
Development of musical sensitivity – Music School Warsaw
To sum up, caring for the development of the student’s musical sensitivity is the basic orientation of our pedagogical work, therefore the repertoire of works is selected by the teachers according to the student’s predispositions. Undoubtedly, this constitutes a base on which the development of the student’s instrumental or vocal technique can be built.
It is worth noting that it is the many years of experience, the original program and the concerted teaching staff that constitute the foundation of Unisono’s success at the level of music education.

The musical meaning of our Unisono logo
UNISONO is the name featured in our School’s logo. It fits into the vocabulary of musical terms for how to perform the same musical fabric (melody). Unisono is the most common Italian form, while unison is the English translation. Violinists are most often found on stage playing unison (the same melody) in an ensemble.
This method of musicianship carries an amplification of the musical message, and also allows the expression of individual parts of the piece to be emphasized.
The graphic of our Music School’s logo exposes an important element of musical notation. Well, in the word UNISONO, a specific mark – a fermata – was placed above the letter I. A fermata, placed above a note on the stave of a specific rhythmic value, extends its duration by the same value. We write about this because this sign is often misunderstood and misread. In the logo of our School, we used this marking to emphasize its musical character. Music instruction offered by Unisono, focuses on harmonious artistic development.
