We can go over the techniques:

• Alternate picking
• Economy picking

• vibrato & bending


There is no strict structure. Lessons are flexible and can be arranged on an ad-hoc basis.

Nice to meet you :D

My name is Melvin, and I'm a pianist/composer and music theorist who loves to guide people with a passion for music! In my lessons, I teach three different subjects in which I specialize and perhaps can help you improve your skills as a musician.

If you want to play the piano intuitively, without thinking about it, or interpret scores, then Piano + Improvisation is the course for you! Together, we'll break through the boundaries of traditional sheet music and teach you to unleash your inner musicality. Whether you're a beginning pianist longing to improvise simple melodies or an experienced player looking to explore new expressive paths, I'll inspire and encourage you to broaden your musical horizons.

Have you always wanted to write your own music, but don't know how to get started? Then together we'll push your creative boundaries and help you develop your own musical masterpieces. Whether you're a budding composer taking your first steps or an experienced musician looking for new inspiration, I'm here to guide and inspire you on your unique composition journey.

Need some theory because you don't understand certain elements of music? No worries! Step by step, we'll explore the fundamentals of music theory together, delving into notes, chords, rhythm, and structure. You'll discover how all these elements work together to create masterpieces, or to better understand scores as a musician.


I'm looking forward to meeting you :D

Welcome to your ney class! The ney, a traditional Turkish reed flute, is one of the oldest musical instruments in history. With its soft, soulful sounds, the ney holds an important place in Turkish and Islamic culture, especially in Sufi music. This enchanting instrument is not only a medium for music, but also a bridge to spiritual expression.

The ney is closely associated with the teachings of Rumi (Mevlana), the great Persian poet and Sufi mystic of the 13th century. Rumi often used the ney as a metaphor for the human soul. He compared the hollow body of the ney to a human being longing for reunion with his divine origins, producing melodies of longing and love.

In this course you will not only learn the technical skills to play the ney, but you will also discover its profound spiritual and cultural significance. Let the journey begin!

Ney derslerinize hoş geldiniz! Ney, geleneksel bir Türk kamış flutü olup tarihin und eski müzik enstrümanlarından biridir. Yumuşak ve duygulu sesi, özellikle tasavvuf müziğinde, Türk ve İslam kültüründe derin bir yere sahiptir. Bu yüleyici enstrüman, sadece bir müzik aracı değil, aynı zamanda ruhsal bir ifade yoludur.

Ney, 13. yüzyılın büyük Pers şairi ve tasavvuf düşünürü Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi'nin (Mevlana) öğretileriyle yakından ilişkilidir. Mevlana, neyi insan ruhuna bir metafor olarak kullanmıştır. Onun boş gövdesini, ilahi kaynağıyla kavuşmayı özleyen bir insan olarak görmüş ve bu özlemin melodilerini neyin sesiyle anlatmıştır.

Bu derste, neyi çalmayı öğrenirken aynı zamanda onunder derin manevi ve kültürel anlamını da keşfedeceksiniz. Haydi, yolculuk başlasın!
