I’m a university student in Berlin, and I give violin lessons to support myself. I’ve been playing the violin in orchestras and as a soloist since I was about six years old. I speak English at a C1 level and Turkish as my mother tongue.

I’d love to offer your child the same fun and well-rounded violin education I received as a child — at an affordable price. We’ll be working with the Suzuki Book 1, combining enjoyable pieces with solid technical progress.

Présentation
Hello!
I’m a university student in Berlin, and I give violin lessons to support myself. I’ve been playing the violin in orchestras and as a soloist since I was about six years old. I speak English at a C1 level and Turkish as my mother tongue.

I’d love to offer your child the same fun and well-rounded violin education I received as a child — at an affordable price. We’ll be working with the Suzuki Book 1, combining enjoyable pieces with solid technical progress.

Education
Hello!
I’m a university student in Berlin, giving violin lessons to support myself during my studies. After completing my high school education at TED Bodrum College in Bodrum, Turkey, I moved to Berlin for university.

I have been playing the violin since I was about six years old, and I’ve performed both in orchestras and as a soloist in numerous concerts. Since 2016, I’ve been actively playing and constantly improving my skills. Over the years, I have also studied and practiced many ABRSM exam pieces, which helped me build a strong technical and musical foundation.

My goal is to introduce children to music and the violin in a fun, inspiring, and structured way, helping them develop confidence and solid technique from the very beginning. In my lessons, we will work with Suzuki Book 1, combining enjoyable pieces with essential beginner violin techniques such as bow hold, posture, intonation, rhythm, and tone production.

I strive to keep my lesson fees as affordable as possible, as I’m giving lessons to support myself while studying at university. Lessons are available both in person and online, depending on your preference.

Expérience / Qualifications
Over the years, I have practiced and performed many ABRSM exam pieces, which have helped me strengthen both my musicality and technical understanding. In my courses designed for children, I plan to use the Suzuki method to make learning both enjoyable and well-structured, focusing on developing a strong technical foundation right from the start.

For beginner-level students, my goal is to create a comfortable and encouraging environment where they can learn the basics of violin playing step by step. We will work on essential beginner techniques such as holding the violin correctly, proper bow grip, posture, intonation, rhythm, and tone production. I also emphasize ear training and musical expression, so that students don’t just play the notes — they learn to listen, feel, and enjoy music.

Through fun songs and exercises from Suzuki Book 1, children will gradually build their confidence, coordination, and understanding of music in a positive and engaging way.

Hi there, I'm a professional violin and viola teacher, teaching in person and online, in English, German or Russian.

Alongside teaching 1:1 and coaching chamber music over the last 12 years, I've led numerous workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ in the UK and taught on the Primary and Senior Arpeggione Viola Courses run by Jacky Woods, coaching some of the UK’s leading young musicians. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I have participated in ESTA conferences across Europe, including at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and in Valletta, Europe’s cultural capital in 2018.

​I regularly prepare his students for auditions, competitions and exams at all levels, and has a holistic teaching style incorporating music theory, aural and sight reading skills and physical awareness. Many of my students have won regional and national competitions and have been accepted into specialist music schools and youth orchestras.

Outside of teaching, I performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, recently including at Kings Place London, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Philharmonie Berlin. I received first prize at the Małopolska competition, the Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition.

I hold a Masters degree with first class honours from the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, where I studied with Tabea Zimmermann, and the University of Arts, where I studied with Lawrence Power, as well as a Bachelors degree with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, where I began in the primary department 20 years ago.

If you'd like to know more or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch or have a look at my website and video.
