His parents were both musicians, and they encouraged him to pursue music from a young age. He started playing the piano when he was just four years old, and by the time he was a teenager, he had already become a proficient pianist. Trojan-Regar's talent was recognized early on, and he was accepted into the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. He studied under some of the most renowned music teachers of the time, including Zoltán Kodály and Béla Bartók. He graduated from the academy with honors in 1952. After completing his studies, Trojan-Regar began his career as a concert pianist. He quickly gained a reputation for his exceptional talent and his ability to interpret complex pieces of music.

He was known for his dedication to his students and his ability to inspire them to achieve their full potential. Trojan-Regar was also a prolific composer.
