I am happy to be able to give joy and confidence in piano playing to each person who is interested, no matter what level, nor age that person has!:)
As a certified teacher ( I fulfilled my BA of piano performance and instrumental teaching in Austria, currently studying a MA), the main points of my teaching focus on the following aspects;
-teaching different stiles (ex pop songs) with the main focus on classical piano
-adapting the methods to each student in an individual way
-focusing on the physical (body contact, relaxation, "healthy playing")
and psychological well-being (reassuring the confidence, building a
foundation for a creative development) of the students
-varying from "notes playing" to improvisation, musical dialogues
and duets
-presenting a clear, yet detailed, colorful way of each piece as an
argument for the student's own understanding/perception regarding it
-approaching and developing technique from musicality
-respecting, supporting and effectively communicating with each
student
I offer Piano lessons, as well as auxiliare music subjects such as music theory, harmony, music history.

Music theory, an essential subject to deeply understand music.
As I am Hungarian, I studied the Kodály method. It is a rather special method which is characterized by a lot of singing, creativity and rhythmic games, which was invented for the education of the people, not for the musical elite. Its effectiveness is proven by many musicians who have grown up in this extraordinary system.
During the lessons we would do several types of exercises:
- listening exercises
- writing exercises
- sing songs, melodies, chords, intervals...
(I am flexible regarding this subject, the student can advise activities/subjects (ex: history of music...))

The goal:
- find the connection between musicality-instrument-theory
- improve ear (absolute/relative), sight-reading, musicality, theoretical knowledge

During the meetings we will work on three well distinguished areas: technique, improvisation and the interpretation of written pieces. In our first encounters, we will establish clear goals, such as securing a repertoire and/or developing specific skills. According to the each musician's needs and intentions, we will discuss topics of music theory, practice ear training and even compose new pieces.

Over the years, I have collected and created a broad variety of materials and exercises and am constantly gathering and tailoring new ones for the attendants. My approach goes beyond the limitations of musical styles. Whether its European Classical, mainstream Pop, Indie Rock, a Latin-American Folk genre or Jazz, all music can be well performed when it is adequately approached and researched.

Looking forward to meeting!

As a pianist and piano teacher, my goal has always been to bring people closer to classical music and to help them develop creativity, emotional and intellectual abilities through music. My intention as a musician is to connect the world of classical music with everyone and to make it understandable, interesting and close for everyone.

I teach piano playing with competence and joy! I have worked in various music schools for 7 years and taught privately. My unique and proven method for adult and small beginners will lead you to your goal without stress and pressure :)

This course is intended for beginners but also for advanced people who would like to deepen their approach to music. Whether you are an instrumentalist wishing to acquire basics in electronic music, or a "Producer" looking to learn music theory, I can guide you in a global or specialized approach to musical creation.
We may or may not have recourse to the use of the piano, which is an ideal tool for creating a bridge between electronic music and instrumental music.
All ages are welcome, I find it as easy to coach in musical creation for adults as I do musical awakening for children.

The cello has a unique sound that changes depending on the style you are interpreting.

For example, baroque and contemporary music differ greatly in their interpretation and playing style. What musical styles do you enjoy playing most on the cello? I'd be happy to help you play your favorite pieces from pop, world, or classical music, and make your lessons interesting and motivating. Thanks to the instrument, you can convey the full depths of human emotion, which will make music even more beloved and stay in your heart for a lifetime.

“Please keep your style: I really love it!” (Lang Lang, after I played Liszt’s Wild Hunt for him)

Diplomas (from the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot):
- Higher Concert Diploma (Diplôme Supérieur de Concertiste)
- Pedagogy certificate (Certificat de Pédagogie)
- Higher teaching diploma (Diplôme Supérieur d'Enseignement)

For several years I have been giving piano lessons to children and adults, beginners (who have never played the piano) and advanced students (who want to study professionally).

It is about learning a piece effectively and quickly, acquiring good technique, and understanding the theory.

I value your goals and expectations, and I enjoy teaching!

Prices (in 2024):
- 3rd Prize in the international competition Pianissima international (Category: Prestissimo; Jury President: Cyprien Katsaris)
- 3rd prize in the international competition Opus Artis
- 2nd Prize in the Léopold Bellan Competition, special award for Rachmaninoff

I've given several concerts in France, Belgium, and Greece. I've also performed on French television (France 5).

I had the opportunity to audition for Lang Lang in a masterclass at the Salle Cortot in Paris; Lang Lang praised my performance of Liszt's Wild Hunt: "Please keep your style: I really love it!"

I studied at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot with Michael Wladkowski and Guigla Katsarava. I studied harmony and counterpoint with the composer Stéphane Delplace. Starting in September 2025, I will be studying with Zlata Chochieva at the Bern University of the Arts.
I'm happy to answer any questions!

✨ What to expect?✨

🌻 She is an experienced, patient and committed teacher and musician with a Bachelor’s degree on Jazz Piano and currently studying a masters in composition at HKB.

🌼 Different styles (jazz, classical, pop, world music...)

🌸 Personalized and tailored lessons for all ages and levels.

🌺 Technique, improvisation, harmony, composition, rhythm, music reading, accompaniment for singers...

🎶 What’s stopping you from mastering that song you love?🎶

✏️TEACHING CONCEPT. ✏️

💡 I like to approach music as a language. Just as we learn to speak by first listening,
understanding, recognizing, and imitating words before learning to read and write them, I
believe that musical learning should follow a similar path. That’s why I place strong
emphasis on aural development, listening, and internalizing sound before focusing on
notation.

💡 My teaching is based on experience, intuition, and exploration. I aim to create a space where
each student feels free to play, discover, and express themselves, encouraging them to
follow their own curiosity and find personal meaning in music.

💡 I always adapt to the needs and goals of each student. Some come with a clear desire to
study classical repertoire, and in those cases I introduce reading and technical work from the
beginning — but always in a way that connects with the music’s expressive and structural
elements, not just as abstract exercises. I believe analysis, understanding, and creativity can
go hand in hand with solid technical and reading skills. Others want to accompany
themselves while singing, or ask for tools to help them create and develop their own musical
ideas. I enjoy guiding each of them through these different paths, offering a wide range of
resources and approaches.

💡 I also pay close attention to each student’s musical interests when choosing repertoire.
Whether they’re drawn to classical, pop, jazz, or music from games or films, I believe it’s
possible to build strong musical foundations by working with music they connect with. No
matter the style, we can explore technical, rhythmic, harmonic, and expressive aspects that
will contribute to their overall development and motivation.

✨My goal is to nurture a deep, joyful, and personal relationship with music in every student,
regardless of age, level, or background.✨
