He began his adventure with music at the age of nine, learning to play the trumpet in the Netherlands under the supervision of famous trumpeter Marc Blaauw. Piotr Majoor’s teachers quickly noticed his talent, as a result of which he continued his education with Andrzej Karpiński at the Karol Kurpiński State Music School in Warsaw. There, not only did Piotr improve his skills, but he also graduated top of his class. In 2010, he won the Grand Prix at the 9th Wind Instrument Music Encounters.
He spent the following years of his musical journey by studying with Wiesław Woźnicki at the Warsaw Karol Szymanowski State Music School and with Gertjan Loot and Erwin ter Boden at the Royal Conservatoire – School for Young Talent in The Hague, the Netherlands. At that time, Piotr Majoor began to specialise in contemporary music and had the opportunity to participate in the Stockhausen courses in Germany. He confirmed his passion and determination by completing his studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2020 under the supervision of renowned professors – Ad Welleman and Theo Wolters.
