Jakub is currently undertaking a research Master's in piano performance at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music . Additionally, he holds a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Melbourne Conservatorium and is also a graduate of the specialist performing arts school, the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School (VCASS). During his undergraduate studies, Jakub displayed an exceptional mastery of pianism and musicianship, as evidenced by the endowment of numerous awards and scholarships. 

Jakub's musical interests vary greatly, including everything from early baroque music to the 20th century and even including a bit of jazz. He has experience as a soloist, a chamber musician and a collaborative pianist and particularly enjoys working with other musicians. Recent collaboration includes a performance with Latvian violinist Sofija Kirsanova at Melbourne's St Paul's Cathedral.
