My extensive background includes coaching amateur a cappella groups, teaching vocal lessons in Hong Kong’s secondary schools, and providing choir lessons at the European School The Hague since 2021.

I am a vocal instructor with a deep love for music and the vocal arts. My goal is to inspire and guide students on their journey to discover and develop their voices. As a vocal instructor, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience in assisting singers of all levels, from beginners to advanced, in achieving their full singing potential.

My approach is personal and tailored to the unique needs of each student. I am skilled in teaching vocal techniques, expanding vocal range, and harmonies. Additionally, I do not only focus on the technical aspects of singing but also on the art of conveying emotion and meaning through music.

- Vocal Technique: Learn essential techniques to maximize your voice, including breathing techniques, tone formation, and vocal control.
- Repertoire: Build a diverse repertoire and explore your creativity and expression.
- Improvisation: Work together to develop improvisation skills.
- Range Expansion: Increase your vocal range and explore new heights in your singing performance.
- Harmony Singing: Strengthen your skills in harmony singing and learn to sing together in perfect harmony.
- Stage Presence and Confidence: We work on building confidence on the stage, enabling you to captivate your audience. Learn how to convey the meaning of songs and improve your overall stage presence.
- Group Lessons: Enjoy the power of collective learning and singing.

I began studying classical piano and music theory at the age of six, which gave me a strong foundation in musicianship from an early age. Later, I completed a bachelor's degree in World Music with Ottoman Singing as my main subject, allowing me to go beyond the basics and offer additional expertise in areas such as makam theory and microtonal singing. I also hold a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, which helps me approach teaching with both creativity and structured thinking. My interdisciplinary background has taught me to embrace diversity and think outside conventional boundaries — something I aim to bring into every lesson.

I strongly believe that everyone can sing, and there is no such thing as a dissonant voice. Together, we can unlock your voice and help you sing your favourite songs with confidence and passion. Come and discover the power and beauty of your own voice, and let's make music together.

Do you want to learn how to play the bass guitar so that you can be the coolest member of the band? If yes, I am able to provide lessons that will bring you from a complete beginner to being able to play your favorite artist's riffs. I can teach bass guitar technique, basic music theory and improvisation. I have always been playing music by feel rather than being constrained by the limiting factors of music theory and I am thrilled to pass on my knowledge. Most importantly, it is important to have fun, jam and enjoy the beauty of music!
