He began his studies to become a music teacher in 2005 at the University of Music Würzburg in the piano class of Prof. András Hamary, and in the meantime he has given concerts in Weimar, Stuttgart, Würzburg, Bayreuth, Regensburg and Nuremberg, among other places. After successful graduation, he continued his artistic education as a graduate musician, graduating "with distinction" in 2011.
