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.

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.

Let's explore your musical potential together in a supportive and inspiring environment!
