Béla Hartmann studied with Vadim Suchanov and Nicolas Economou in Munich, John Bingham at Trinity College of Music, London, and with Elisso Virssaladse in Munich.
As a teacher Hartmann has worked with pupils of all ages and levels from beginners to post graduate music college students. His pupils have enjoyed successes at concerts, competitions and auditions, have performed piano concertos, gained diploma qualifications and gone on to pursue professional careers. He has adjudicated in competitions and given masterclasses as well as lecture recitals.
Hartmann recently began composing, writing a variety of pieces for aspiring pianists. He is particularly interested in chamber music collaborations between early and intermediate pupils. His own concert pieces often take their inspiration from vocal works by Brahms and other late romantic composers, and the poetry of Rilke.
