Hi, I'm Berivan, but you can call me Beri! I'm a passionate music teacher with a rich background in violin and piano. My journey started at 11, leading me to study at fine arts high school and earn a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from Uludağ University, including an exchange period in Spain.

I've performed as a soloist and in ensembles, attended Orff seminars, and earned a Prodigies Training Certificate. I hold a Master's degree from Ankara University and am pursuing a PhD in Music Education at Gazi University. I speak English and Spanish fluently.

I offer private violin and piano lessons tailored to individual interests, whether classical or contemporary. My approach is flexible, aiming to create a positive music-making experience. For those seeking a serious path, I can guide exam and competition preparation. My students have achieved high exam marks and competition prizes.

Knowing that music can be a powerful tool to impact people's lives, my goal is to inspire my students to apply the knowledge and techniques they learn in my classroom to share their unique life perspectives. I believe it is my job to develop relationships with my students so that I can integrate their interests into my lesson plans and adapt my lesson plans to meet the different needs of different learning styles.

About Me
Hi, I'm Berivan but you can call me Beri :) I am a very passionate music teacher. My musical journey started at the age of 11 when I bought my first violin. Afterwards, I studied both violin and piano at the fine arts high school. After that I studied in fine arts high school where I majored both in violin and piano. In 2015, I started my bachelor degree of music education at Uludağ University. During this period I continued my education as an exchange student at the "Conservatorio Superior de Música da Coruña" in the city of 'A Coruña' in Spain for 6 months in 2018-2019. During my education, I participated in various concerts and festivals both at home and abroad as a soloist, orchestra and choir member. I attended seminars in the field of Orff and worked in this field. At the end of the Prodigies Training that I attended in 2019, I received the 'Prodigies Training Certificate'. I continue to practice music in my professional life based on its therapeutic as well as educational aspect and continue to improve myself in my field.
I completed my master's degree at Ankara University of Music and Fine Arts, Department of Music Education. I continue my education life as a PhD student at Gazi University, Department of Music Education. I speak English and Spanish at native level.

I graduated in violin and chamber music at the Academy of Music in Oslo. I work as a violinist in the European Union Chamber Orchestra. I am mostly teaching solo but I have led many string orchestras and ensambles. For the last 4 years, I have been teaching at Denmarks biggest music academy. I have over 20 years of experience teaching children and adults; from beginner to a very high level. For me, it is important to adapt the teaching to each individual so that the learning process becomes fun and creative.



Violin
I teach violin at all levels in all age groups. Violin lessons include:
• Basic and advanced violin techniques
• Hear, listen and imitate
• Reading music
• Left-hand exercises
• Bow techniques
• Musical expression and tone quality



Piano
I teach piano to beginners and intermediate levels at all ages. The piano lessons include:
- Accompaniment and piano
- Reading music
- Rhythm exercises
- Musical expression



Genres
Classical, pop, folk, improvisation.



First lesson
In the first lesson, I and the student first get to know each other. We need to find out what kind of goals and desires the student has and then we make a plan for the teaching.



Beginners
Beginners in violin must have a violin available as well as a notepad.
