Many of his former students have won prizes and awards, both nationally and internationally, and have performed at venues including Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, Symphony Hall Birmingham and Buckingham Palace. Jan’s students have furthered their studies after graduating from RBC at the Royal College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, the Franz Liszt Academy Budapest, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the University of Michigan, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, some of them on full scholarships with teaching assistantships.
