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.

About Me
I have been actively teaching since I was very young, we can say that it was the most natural thing for me. I have never felt with a single student or teacher task that I lacked patience in the given situation, and I always tried to find a solution in which the student does not see the tasks in front of him as impossible, unsolvable or incomprehensible, but is able to break it down into parts with my help , which represent challenges that can already be processed.

For me, different musical styles were closely connected from the very beginning, not only as a performer, but also as a composer. When I was introduced to Mozart's music at the age of 12, I immediately wondered how it was composed. At this age, I chewed through Kesztler's theory of harmonies from end to end. I still have a tape on which I improvised at the piano in Mozart's style when I was around 12-13 years old, because I already understood how this music could be made. Later, jazz became the great love, in which you can compose music without restrictions and freely during a performance, i.e. improvise. But pop music also attracted me, the elitist, snobbish attitude is completely far from me, and I also consider it harmful.

At the same time, I was constantly involved in computer composition and music editing, which formed the basis of my knowledge as a music producer, which is how I later became a pop songwriter and film composer. Today, although I do not consider myself a professional sound engineer, I have mixed and mastered several records, so I am also an expert in putting music together and putting it into final form.

As a performing artist i have played my original music internationally, most notable is our tour in Japan in 2019 with the Swansong trio. I got recognition as a film music composer by winning the best soundtrack prize at the 2019 Bujtor film festival. Also my Hungarian trio's debut album DSD edition has received best album of 2022 prize at NativeDSD.com. Currently there are reviews of albums in 9 different languages. Apart from playing jazz as a soloist and ensemble player, i have toured with different pop-rock formations, and worked in cruise ships showbands with different companies.

During my teaching career, I met many different people and tasks. Everyone's goals are slightly different, and my broader perspective and personal experience allows me to guide individuals on the path to their own musical goals. There are those who are happy only with classical music pieces, some who want to play popular music from chords, others want to improvise or compose music at home, but there are also those who just want to understand the theory of music more deeply and thereby become a more prepared music student.

Through my courses I will teach all levels of piano playing. My approach will consist of forming an individual repertoire according to each student's needs. In case that students want to integrate piano lessons with composing, that is also something I would strongly encourage, since piano is the most frequently used instrument for composing music.

Singing is a way of expression that helps you to connect to yourself and others. As a jazz-singer, performer and vocal coach I encourage anybody to join my classes. I work with adults and children also, helping them to improve their music skills by a playful method.

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!
