Hello, I am Esengül, I have obtained my Master's degree in both violin pedagogy and violin performance at Amsterdam Art University. While continuing my active concert life in the Netherlands by performing as a professional violinist in a wide range of ensembles and orchestras such as Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and Netherlands Philharmonic orchestra, I also participate in significant orchestras such as Tekfen Philharmonic Orchestra and Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra in Turkey. Thanks to my profession, I had countless chances to give concerts in fascinating concert halls such as Smetana Hall, Dvorak Hall, Pesti Vigado Hall, Berlin Konzerthaus, Slovak Radio Hall, Vienna Radio Kultur Haus and Kodaly Hall many more in Europe. On the other hand, it has become my passion to convey my musical experiences to my students in all age groups and levels. It is a pleasure for me as a pedagog to make the musical journey both enjoyable and productive with diverse violin teaching methods. I offer online violin classes with diverse sources for 7 years. I would like to inspire you in this path and contribute joy and motivation to your musical journey!

The method of my pedagogy is based on the theory, practice and mechanisms of the Russian and European violin schools. This is based on the deepest understanding of teaching psychology and the development of the individuality of the individual student. Lessons can be in English and Turkish being held. I convey a very good technical and musical basis, which is connected to the breath, what is important to me is a lively sound and joy in every note, no matter what the level. There are no boring etudes / exercises with me. It is important to me to understand and play a simple scale as soulful music. A lesson usually looks like this: - Repetition of what has already been learned - Introduction of new elements with the help of exercises rich in images, e.g. new playing techniques, optimization of the movement sequences, rhythmic understanding, bowing technique, position technique, integration of breath, feeling for holistic play etc FOR ADULTS: refinement of playing techniques and connection with the breathing column. musical expression. repertoire game. style accuracy. Musical and technical development of the elements typical for the respective epoch / style. FOR CHILDREN: I like to teach e.g. with the Rolland string method. In addition, I have a whole "toolbox" of methodology from my 7 years of teaching experience, so many different methods are used depending on what the child needs. Beginning lessons are possible without notes using a method I developed, so that the notes can be gradually introduced in a playful way. I teach with great fun, child-friendly with colors and lots of pictures.
