I teach classical piano lessons for beginners. Personal guidance tailored to your needs. Guitar lessons also for beginners. Both acoustic and electric. Acoustically you will learn the most important facts from folk to bluegrass. Electric I can teach you the basics of metal. Then I will teach you power chords and how to reach higher speeds. Special self-developed technique after playing metal for 20+ years. During the guitar lessons I will also teach you how to make your own songs.

Discover your musical talent through personalised piano lessons designed around your individual goals, abilities and aspirations.

As a Doctor of Performing Arts, my approach combines artistic expression, technical excellence and a supportive learning environment, helping every student to learn with confidence, creativity and deeper understanding.

Piano Lessons in Bebek, Istanbul – Children & Adults With 15 years of teaching experience, I offer individual piano lessons for children from age 3, as well as teenagers and adults, at Poco Piano, a boutique music studio located in Bebek, Istanbul. Lessons are individually planned according to each student's age, level, learning pace and musical goals. My approach combines classical piano training with music theory, sight-reading, ear training and musicianship, creating a strong musical foundation rather than focusing only on learning individual pieces. For young beginners (ages 3–6), lessons are adapted to the child's attention span and developmental stage. The first goal is to build a positive relationship with the instrument and teacher while gradually introducing rhythm, pitch, keyboard orientation and basic musical concepts. For school-age students, teenagers and adults, lessons may include classical repertoire, technique, sight-reading, music theory and preparation for internationally recognised music examinations. ABRSM & LCME Exam Preparation I provide preparation for ABRSM and London College of Music (LCME) practical and theory examinations. Lessons can include repertoire preparation, technical work, sight-reading, aural skills and music theory according to the student's level and examination requirements. Conservatory & Music Theory Support Academic support is also available for students who need help with solfège, music theory, harmony or conservatory-related coursework. Practical Information All prices listed for lessons at Poco Piano include VAT (Value Added Tax), and lessons take place at our studio in Bebek, Istanbul. Home/private lessons can also be arranged upon request. These lessons are scheduled and priced separately depending on location and availability. Poco Piano offers: • Piano lessons from age 3 for children, teenagers and adults • Classical guitar lessons from age 8 • Beginner ukulele lessons from age 5 • ABRSM & LCME practical and theory exam preparation • Music theory, solfège and harmony support • Conservatory preparation and academic music support • Lessons in Turkish or entirely in English • Online music theory and exam-preparation lessons • An annual studio concert, giving students the opportunity to perform in front of an audience New students may attend a short complimentary introductory session before registration. This session is designed to meet the teacher, discuss the student's goals and determine the most appropriate lesson programme and duration. Regular lessons are individually planned according to the student's age, level and musical goals.

It is especially important to me that the lessons are individually tailored to each student. I do not follow a rigid textbook, but instead choose pieces and exercises according to your musical interests, your current level, and your personal goals. In lessons, we can work on topics including: - Piano technique and tone production - Music reading and sight-reading - Musical expression and interpretation - Music theory and harmonic understanding - Preparation for performances, examinations, and entrance auditions If you are a beginner, we will be building the fundamentals step by step. If you already play the piano, we can work specifically on technique, musical expression, and your current repertoire. If you are returning to the piano after several years, we can assess where you are and find the best way to continue developing your playing. In the first lesson, we get to discuss your goals, and already work practically at the piano. Lessons are available in German, English, or Russian. I look forward to meeting you!
