Teaching Philosophy

My vision about music and art is;
It's all around us. Everywhere we go, everything we do, everything we see, everything we hear, in every breath we take. All we need to do, is to learn how to assemble it with our feelings, emotions, imagination and embrace the melodies as they come. So to do this we need a guide, someone to show us how to pull the strings.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
- Burdur Fine Arts High School
-Balikesir University Necatibey Faculty of Education - Bachelor Degree

My journey with music started at the age of 14. I was getting private lessons of ear training, piano and voice. After i got into high school (2011), i studied music theory, solfege, violin (for 1 year), guitar, piano and chorus.
At the end of school each year, we were giving a concert where every student has taking place to show their skills on stage.
After i graduated from high school, i've continued my studies at Balikesir Necatibey Faculty of Education (2016). There i've studied vocals, baglama (traditional Turkish instrument) and piano.
In the mean time, i was learning electro guitar and electro bass by myself.

Special Skills and Training

Since when i was a child, i've always had interest in music and art. My big sister is also an art teacher and her skill is drawing, so i guess it's okay for me to say that art is in our blood. She has been a great supporter in my music life and she still is. I've worked with children back in university as an intern student and it was such an amazing and fun experience.

Policies


1. Cancellation Policy

Lessons not cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice are billable to the client and payable to the teacher. This does not of course apply to travel fees unless the notice is effectively given at the door and the teacher has travelled to the location.

2. Cessation (quitting) Policy

A client must provide a 2 lesson notice period to stop lessons. So a weekly student needs to give 2 weeks of notice, a biweekly student works out to 3 weeks notice and a twice weekly student works out to a week of notice.

3. Illness Policy

Lessons cancelled due to illness or extraordinary circumstances with less than 24 hours notice remain billable to the client and payable to the teacher.

BAH teachers are encouraged to offer a make-up lesson at a future date in the interest of client relations and general goodwill. This only makes sense as teaching a student with the flu for example, will ruin the rest of your week's employment.

No more than 2 lessons may be made up due to illness within a 60 day period.

4. Rescheduling Policy

Any lesson can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice.

Summer Vacation and Extended Absence Policy

Clients may schedule longer absences for trips etc. 24 hours notice is required.

It is normal and typical for students and about 20% of our teachers to schedule a break in the summer. We do not enforce a notice period (see cessation of lessons) at the end of a long summer break.

5. Evaluation Period

There are no free trial lessons with Beethoven at Home but we do offer a 2 lesson evaluation period where it is easy to try out a teacher. There are no free lessons during the evaluation period and clients may choose to discontinue the lessons at any time by providing the required 24 hours notice. After the student's 3rd lesson the required 2 lesson notice period will apply (see cessation of lessons above).
