About

My passion for the piano and music in general started from a very young age, with Johann Sebastian Bach as my biggest influence, and has helped me transform my career. I have been teaching the piano to children and adults for over 27 years of all levels (from beginners to diploma levels of ABRSM and Trinity exam boards). I have a BA in piano teaching from the prestigious Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary under the guidance of professors: Halmagyi Katalin, Both Lehel, Hollos Mate, Foldes Imre, Kemenes Andras, and Heli Ignatius-Fleet. I am proud to say I am a piano teacher, classroom music theory teacher, member of a live band, as well as solo performer and most importantly a mother.

I have always enjoyed teaching piano and music, as well as taking leading roles in music schools and conservatoires in different countries.  My journeys around the world have allowed me to explore and live in different cultures; I am fluent in English, Hungarian and Arabic.  For many years I have had the pleasure accompanying many distinguished musicians and many of my own students.  As part of my ongoing personal development I do charity concerts, attend master classes and courses regularly.
