I am a professional pianist with 3 Master diplomas and 10 years experience of performance and teaching. I play any kind of music from
Jazz until Classical. I have been working for several music halls, orchestras and music schools as a solo
pianist, chamber partner, piano teacher or accompanist over Switzerland, Hungary, Denmark, United Arab
Emirates, USA and the United Kingdom. I sight-read very well, play music after first listening and improvise
in each style.

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.

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.

Taking jazz saxophone lessons from a professional artist can deepen your expressive abilities, enhance improvisational skills, and master the specific techniques of jazz. An experienced teacher can provide personalized guidance and exercises to help you grasp the unique sound and language of jazz.

Dear Student!

If You're a creative musician who's ready to expand your playing to the next level, You're at the best place.
The goal for this class is for You to be able to improvise and fit in into any music group as a Keyboardist/Pianist, being able to accompany singers or other instrumentalists, and being able to play by your own as well.

We will work on:

- Solo Piano
- Accompany Singers
- Playing in Bands of different lineup
- Understanding difference between classic Keyboard Instruments (Synths, Hammond Organ, Rhodes, Wurli, Piano)
- Walking bass
- Stylistic Trademarks
- Improvising in Different Time Feels

- Composing/Arranging/Songwriting tips
- Reharmonization excercises
- Understanding voice leading and harmonic movements
- Improvisation tools

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!
