Introduction: I have been teaching music for more than 25 years, and I call myself a "teachaholic": just because I love what I am doing! As a singer I have teaching, performing and recording experience in various genres: jazz, pop, rock, gospel, musical and classical. As a piano teacher, I have a strong classical education. Therefore I am specialized more in classical piano literature. However, when it comes to accompanying my voice students, I am ready to play any genres! About my education: Bachelor and Master of Music and Music Education Dual Degree at 'The Liszt Academy of Music' Budapest, Hungary. I was an Adjunct Professor at the Music Department at Western Oregon University (WOU) substituting in the 2015 Fall Term. Through WOU I was twice (in 2017 and 2018) a guest vocal professor at the Guangxi Art University in Nanning, China. Currently, I am the Adjunct Professor of Applied Jazz Voice at Lewis and Clark College, in Portland, OR. I provide my students with a safe, nurturing, supporting and friendly atmosphere right from the very first moment, so they can feel that they can trust me. I offer voice and piano lessons in Multnomah Village, in my home studio to Lake Oswego/Tigard/Beaverton/Tualatin, with quick access to I-5, I-205 and OR-217.

I’m 67 years old and a true beginner…. I’ve always dreamed of playing an instrument…and wasn’t sure if it was just too late. I started lessons 3 months ago, and Sofia has guided and encouraged me, and literally is making my dream come true!! Sofia is a fantastic piano teacher!! I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in piano lessons. She clearly has vast experience and background in music, and I feel so fortunate to have found her for my lessons.

We started our son on piano lessons at 5-years-old. He’s now ten, and has learned so much—and still loves his piano lessons! Thanks to Zsofia for keeping him excited and engaged these past 5 years 😁

Zsofi is an excellently trained vocal teacher; we are so lucky to have her in our Portland community. She was not only teaching my daughter to sing but was very aware of the lasting damage that improper voice training can cause to the vocal cords and techniques to avoid that. So I was very grateful to find her, and my daughter enjoyed seeing her. She took in-person lessons, but we opted for Zoom when we did not have time to drive to Portland. We live half an hour away, but Zsofi is worth the drive. She also offers make-up lessons. I am unsure of her policies, but we only needed to reschedule occasionally.

Sofia is a great teacher. My son started in elementary school, and he loved it so much he got his older middle-school-aged daughter to start lessons last year as well. Highly recommend!
