Gábor Csordás offers advanced instruction in jazz composition, improvisation, arranging, and musical development. Drawing on professional experience as a performer, composer, producer, and educator, he works with dedicated students seeking to deepen their artistic voice.
I have been actively performing, touring, recording and working with various bands for over twenty years, and teaching has also been an important part of my life for a long time. I love helping musicians to gain a deeper understanding of musical language, form, rhythm, instrumentation and find their own artistic voice. Although I started in jazz, I am also open to contemporary musical practice – whether it is groove-based music, productions combined with electronic elements or other hybrid approaches – always adapting to the interests and goals of the student.
At the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Budapest , my teachers were Kálmán Oláh and Béla Faragó, while at the Manhattan School of Music, I studied jazz-composition with Darcy James Argue and Chris Zuar.
