Passing through the Conservatory of the Pomeranian Music Society in Toruń, he completed his studies in 1946 at the State Higher School of Music in Łódź in the piano classes of Stanisław Szpinalski and the composition class of Kazimierz Sikorski.
In 1947, through the advocacy of Sikorski and the Polish Minister of Culture and Arts, he received a scholarship to study for a year in France, which he did with Nadia Boulanger for composition and Lazare Lévy for piano. Not very interested in the neoclassical conception of composition, Serocki familiarized himself with dodecaphony and the work of Béla Bartók.
Upon his return to Poland, he joined the Polish Composers’ Union.
His participation in a 1949 conference of composers and musicologists in Łagów yielded a creative alliance with Jan Krenz and Tadeusz Baird, whose pieces he would perform and with whom he founded Group 49.
