With more than two decades of teaching and conducting experience, I help students build strong musical foundations through piano, ear training, music theory, and voice work. My background in the Kokas method and other alternative pedagogical approaches allows me to tailor lessons to each learner’s creativity, individuality, and emotional expression.
I teach in English, Hungarian, and German, and I work with students who want more than traditional piano lessons—they want a rich, multi-dimensional musical education.
