Hello,

I am currently in my first year of graduate studies at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Budapest and a former student at the Conservatory of Lausanne. I am available to give piano lessons to your child during the weekends. My objective will be to teach him/her the basic elements (piano notes, as well as some scales), but also to teach him/her to play some songs on the piano.

Feel free to send me a message for more information.

I teach students of every level, I work privately, in person and online, and in a music school in Budapest. I teach all ages, from children to adults, from level “zero” to students who want to prepare for exams in Conservatories, but also amateurs or people who just want to try some piano lessons.

My teaching method is changing with time. The more I teach, the more I learn from my students. I see teaching as a dynamic experience, and I welcome the students to give feedbacks and set their own goals, in order to give them my best advices and guidance. I am usually focusing on generating independence in the approach to music, with slow but steady learning of music reading, understanding of rhythm and all the fundamentals needed by every one, adapting of course to the students' goals.
If you want to contact me, I will be happy to answer all the questions. I usually answer in short time.

(Do not consider the booking timetable you see on my page. I prefer to write the student and find a day that works for both of us.)

My teaching philosophy relies on finding the best path that fits the student. You will be able to learn your favorite songs and styles very quickly, even without any music knowledge beforehand. My focus is on playing popular music, jazz/blues/funk, soundtrack/game music and learning how to play songs from chords without having to read proper sheet music for two hands. Bring your favorite songs and be able to play them quickly!

Come over for a session, let's meet and get to know each other, and plan your journey with no strings attached.

Have you always wanted to learn piano, but never had the time? Are you afraid that you won't be able to progress without having strong foundations as a child? Then you should come for a lesson!

I'm also offering music theory and music production lessons for those who are interested in producing music with/without the computer.

For advanced students i'm offering jazz piano, music theory as well.

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!

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