Learning for Pleasure

The student chooses pieces to learn in discussion and agreement with the teacher. The focus is on the joy of music-making — exploring repertoire that genuinely excites and motivates. Progress is measured by personal satisfaction and musical growth, not examinations.

🎓

TMS Certificate Programme

Students follow the Teleki Music Studies syllabus with rigour and purpose. At the end of each semester, an examination by an independent panel awards the TMS certificate — a credential that reflects genuine musical achievement and the European conservatory standard.


Ages 3 – 12
Children's Lessons

For young learners, the focus is on rhythm development and age-appropriate music. We introduce the very basics of music playfully — singing together, storytelling about composers, and installing the love and magic of music-making that will enrich a child's life for decades.

  • Rhythm development and steady beat
  • Age-appropriate repertoire
  • Playful introduction to music reading
  • Stories about composers and instruments
  • Parental involvement encouraged
Ages 13 – 18
Youth Lessons

Youth lessons move through four stages: imitation, exploration, improvisation, and composition — each lesson building on the last. We use cross-cultural folk music and composed music of high artistic value, supporting students toward sight reading, ear training, and personal expression.

  • Four-stage progression model
  • Pitch, tempo, meter, and musicianship
  • Sight reading and ear training
  • Cross-cultural repertoire
  • Improvisation and composition
