About my courses:
- my courses are practice based
- based on my experiences what is really needed to work as a musician, or just
get better as an amateur/Semi-professional
- "PRO CONTEMPORARY MUSICIAN" courses cover the most important topics
and skills that one have to focus on. During my teaching lessons I
discovered people are usually struggleing because of the lack of one of
these fundamentals. I'll help You get these things done.
- Last but not least: It's not gonna work without You. The more work You put
in and more consistent You are, the better You'll see the results. Enthusiastic,
ambitious, persistent people: I await your application. The more work you put in and
the more consistent you are, the more you will see results. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

A tanfolyamaimról:
- a tanfolyamaim gyakorlat alapúak és életszerűek
- Tapasztalataimra alapozva állítottam össze, hogy mi kell igazán a profi zenei életben
való érvényesüléshez, vagy zenei fejlődéshez hobbi/félprofi szinten
- A „PRO CONTEMPORARY MUSICIAN ESSENTIALS” tanfolyamok a legfontosabb
alap készségeket fejlesztik, amelyekre összpontosítani kell, és elengedhetetlen a
zenei kiteljesedéshez. Tapasztalataim alapján az emberek többsége általában felületes
vagy hiányos tudással rendelkezik ezen készségek területén, ami a probléma forrása.
Ezeket helyre fogjuk rakni.. :)
- Végül, de nem utolsósorban: nélküled nem megy. Lelkes, ambíziózus, kitartó emberek
jelentkezését várom. Minél több munkát fektetsz be és minél következetesebb vagy,
annál jobban látni fogod az eredményeket. Ez egy maraton, nem sprint.
