“I believe that music cannot be taught in a one-dimensional setting. Music exists in everyday life and our human culture. At the Adam Gyorgy Castle Academy, I learned so much from the daily masterclasses we had (taught by some of the greatest artists and pedagogues in the world), and especially from the cultural activities it offered from Adam.”

Lasting possibilities
“Our approach helps to develop our students’ musicianship, so that they can be not only a better musician but also better person..”
