Mihály was born in Budapest, Hungary and began learning violin at an early age, inspired to become a musician and a teacher by his own family’s rich musical heritage. (Both of his parents are musicians.) He studied at the internationally renowned Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest for ten years – focusing first on musicology and obtaining a Master’s degree in the subject, then focusing on violin pedagogy in the Academy’s Teacher Training Master’s Programme and obtaining a second Master’s degree in the subject. Mihály came to Ireland in 2015 and has been busy since then as an orchestral and chamber musician and teacher, teaching in several music schools as well as privately. He has taught violin and viola to students of all ages and skill levels. And although he has successfully prepared many students for a wide range of grade exams and competitions, he has also taught a number of students learning these instruments purely for enjoyment. ‘The most important things I do as a teacher are helping my students fulfil their goals and dreams, developing their skills and expanding their musical horizons so they can better appreciate these wonderful instruments and the music they make. I do my best to help them understand the beautiful sounds of a well-played violin or viola, as well as the rich literatures of these instruments.’
