Introduction

I am Éva Bekő, a guitarist, composer, art and life coach. I live in Budapest, Hungary.
As an artist, I compose pieces for solo classical guitar and perform them regularly at concerts, workshops and several types of cultural events. My guitar pieces express various feelings and moods, and according to many people, they convey a meditative atmosphere, inspiring the listener to look inward. My long-term goals include publishing the scores of my guitar works, as well as arranging and publishing my works in album form.
As a coach, I help others to deploy their creative energies and achieve fullfillment and self-realisation as early as possible in their lives. As a coach, I can primarily help others in achieving the following goals: unlocking and developing creativity; managing artistic crisis, overcoming creative blocks; promoting artistic success; and addressing general personal or career-related issues that impact creative work.

Curriculum Vitae
I was born in Mosonmagyaróvár, northwest Hungary in 1983, and have been living in Budapest since 2001.
I have been studying classical guitar and composition privately since 1999, and still continue to do so. My teachers have been Zoltán Cseh, Attila Korom, Csenge Mihalicza, Péter Oravecz, Lotti Szalai, Máté Tokárszky, and Abigél Varga, to whom I am forever grateful for not only imparting their great professional knowledge to me, but also for inspiring my love of music, my professional humility, and the developing of my innermost creative energies.
In parallel to my musical education, I studied drawing and painting, then Buddhist and Western philosophy, and I obtained a PhD in the latter field in 2021.
I have been dealing with coaching since 2024, focusing primarily on topics related to art and creativity, but I also address general life coaching topics. I regularly hold individual and group coaching sessions, and in parallel, I continuously compose guitar pieces which I regularly perform at concerts and other cultural events, and I also create audio recordings and sheet music of my guitar works.
As both a creator and a helper, I strive to contribute as much as I possibly can to the world, according to my possibilities and abilities.

‘It is possible to live without music. There is a path even through the desert. But we (...) want people to walk their life's path not as if they were walking through a desert, but through flowery meadows.’ (Zoltán Kodály)
