Have you been dreaming to play the piano? Or, you had when you were a kid but then..life happened? I am here to teach you and show you it is never too late! Music is for everyone, from 4-year olds to 80-year olds, no age limit! We create our lessons together and we make them interesting and fun, not strict and boring.

My name is Malik Halce, I am a pianist based in Hungary, currently studying for a masters degree at Ferenc Liszt Academy. I have won several international competitions and participated in the masterclasses of many renowned pianists. I give piano lessons to students of all ages and levels. Are you an enthusiastic beginner or do you want to pick up again after some time? it's a great time to improve your musical abilities!

The piano lessons take place online via Zoom or Skype. Due to the corona crisis, taking piano lessons online has become popular, although it can still be done at home!

For beginners, the main goal is to learn how to play and read any piece of music, strengthen your hands and increasing the intelligence of your fingers. Music theory is included in lessons.
If you are not a beginner, we choose the best way to improve the sense of music, technical skills and artistic perspective according to your level individually.

Hello :)

I am so excited that you are interested in music and especially that you are looking to start learning how to play the piano!

I am offering private piano lessons, to any age or level. I teach children, starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications, e.g. ABRSM music exams, amateurs or simply people who want to learn how to play and enjoy music, of any age.

I always start by teaching and explaining the importance of the hand's position, the importance of the arms and the use of the whole body while playing the piano. During the lessons, we will be working on piano technique (giving great importance to the p movement of the finger and the use of the weight on the keys), the understanding of the musical language, the expression of the personality through the music.

My way of teaching, adjusts to the age, the character and the personality of the student. I am always using a lot of examples in order to make my point and especially in young ages, the most of the lesson's activities, have the sense of a game for the children.

I offer advanced private studies in jazz composition, improvisation, arranging, and related musical practices for dedicated musicians, composers, and advanced students. My teaching draws equally from long-term professional experience as a performer, composer, and producer, as well as formal studies with Kálmán Oláh and Béla Faragó at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, and with Darcy James Argue and Chris Zuar at the Manhattan School of Music in New York.

Alongside over two decades of touring, recording, and ensemble work, I have also maintained a long-standing teaching practice focused on helping musicians develop a deeper understanding of musical language, form, rhythm, orchestration, and artistic individuality. While rooted in jazz, my approach is open to contemporary hybrid practices, including groove-based music production and acoustic-electronic environments when relevant to the student’s interests.

Lessons are primarily aimed at advanced students, semi-professional and professional musicians, composers, and international students based in Budapest who are looking for a more individual and experience-based approach to contemporary jazz and composition studies.

Jazz composition and form, orchestration, voicings, unifying elements
Contemporary jazz arranging and orchestration
Improvisation and rhythmic language
Harmonic concepts and ear training
Ensemble writing and score preparation
Personal artistic development
Hybrid acoustic-electronic workflows

Dear Music Friends,

My name is Marcell, I’m 29 years old, and I graduated from the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music.

I’ve been teaching privately for 10 years now, I have taught at the Buda “Kis Zene” music school, and as a traveling musician I’ve also toured parts of Europe.

I teach piano, solfège, music theory, and improvisation. I’m also open to lighter genres such as pop or jazz, and we can explore film music as well.

For me, the word “dictatorship” does not exist in teaching. The lessons are tailored to the student’s needs and delivered within a professional framework.

I have students of all ages. Perhaps what I love most about my work is this diversity, and the shared joy when a student reaches and surpasses a milestone.

I also offer lessons at your home — by arrangement.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Whether you're just starting out or already playing and want to get better, I’m here to help! Not just classical music — we can dive into pop/Church songs/music.

Lessons can be online or I can come to your place, whatever works best for you.
Can’t wait to share music with you! 🎶

Hi! I’m a Taiwanese piano teacher living in Hungary.
I have 5+ years of experience teaching beginner piano across China and Europe — basically helping nervous beginners become confident beginners. 😄

I teach in a warm, patient, and relaxed style.
My lessons are 100% in English, but the kind of English that’s slow, clear, and beginner-friendly.
(You don’t need perfect English — trust me, you’ll be fine!)

I also speak Mandarin, so if you ever need a little extra explanation, I’ve got you.

My students describe me as friendly, gentle, and “the opposite of scary,” which I take as the highest compliment.
I love helping people learn step by step without stress, pressure, or strict vibes.

If you want soft, friendly, and slightly humorous piano lessons, I’d love to teach you. 🎹✨
Let’s make music together — slowly, happily, one key at a time!
