About Me

Hi! I’m Asli, a singer, composer, and sound designer with a passion for music that started in childhood. Singing and songwriting have always been close to my heart, and throughout my education, I performed as a singer in various bands, collaborating with professional musicians in Istanbul. During this time, I also taught piano and singing to children aged 4 to 6, and I absolutely love working with kids!

After completing my studies in music composition and sound technologies, I began working as a professional composer and singer, collaborating with directors, advertising agencies, and artists from different fields. Before moving to Berlin, I worked as a sound engineer at an audiobook company.

Now, I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience with passionate music learners! Whether you want to dive into music theory, master music production, improve your singing, or learn to play the piano, I’m here to guide you. Whether your goal is to shine on stage or produce your own music on the computer, I hope to inspire and support you on your musical journey. I look forward to meeting you soon!

I teach piano and keyboard skills with a friendly and encouraging approach. My students learn technical exercises and pieces/songs carefully chosen to suit each individual and I also incorporate relevant music theory. I teach on an upright acoustic piano at my place in Wedding and in some cases travel to the student for lessons.

Drums, as with bass guitar are the backbone of any good song, and the foundation upon which the music is built. Despite not being as famous as lead vocals or lead guitar. Drums in my opinion is much more fun, at all levels of performance.

I will teach you how to play the drums, how to fit the style to the genre and we will learn by practice by breaking down the famous classics, and explain what part drums played to make these classics so good.

We will use my electronic drumset, which is not as good as the real thing but is definitely good for starters. There are ways you can practice at home without a drumset as well. And we can expand later and rent a studio room, where I can jam with you on the guitar even!

Piano is an incredible instrument to learn - it provides you with a broad understanding of music, develops listening skills, and great dexterity, increases concentration, and much more.
I specialize in jazz piano but teach all musical styles according to the student's needs and wishes. Throughout the lesson we will learn music and songs, technique, harmony, ear training, theory, and rhythm - all subjects of music can be addressed through the piano!

I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.

I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!

Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

Hello there!

My name is Sara and I'm a classical pianist and piano teacher. I have been a pianist for about 15 years and started teaching it a while ago as well. I offer lessons in 3 different languages ( English, Arabic and German) for both beginner and intermediate levels.

I believe music should be enjoyed and comfortably played, allowing people to both connect with it and understand while challenging them to express themselves in new and different ways. Music lessons are fun and will be set to make the student confident and comfortable in their playing. If any student needs extra time or space to feel secure and safe, I will offer as much understanding and security as I can.
Trust is my number one motto, if for any reason a student feels pressured or uncomfortable they can come and talk to me directly and we shall figure out a way to make music learning fun and enjoyable for them.

I'd like to think of myself as someone who truly enjoys making a good change in the world and who tries to offer the best possible experience when getting to know the instrument and how to play it and I hope you find the trust in me to sign up for my class!

Thank you and have a lovely day

Sara

👂 My motto for teaching music: Learn with your ear, before understanding it with your brain.

Music can be explained entirely from a theoretical point of view 🤯. But I'm convinced that the best approach is to feel and sing the music 🎤💖, before understanding and interpreting it theoretically.

I teach music theory intuitively 💫. More than just a way of reading sheet music, I can show you how to deconstruct a piece of music in any genre, how to interpret chords, and how to improvise simply and effectively.

How to work the voice ? Practice ? Perform ? Compose ? Interpret a song ?
It's through technic but also practising songs from your favourite artists that you understand how to place your voice and sing your song and achieve your musical journey. Starting from the basics like breathing support, vocal routines, learning songs to practising stage presence, composition.
In my classes, I go through all this points and focus on what the student needs and wish to learn.

I had the chance to learn with the greatest Jazz singers of the New York scene. I studied, Jazz, Pop, Classical singing, which lead me to understand the voice in its full. For five years I focused on performing and touring with my different projects, and there I built my skills for the stage and being comfortable in front of a crowd.

I offer individual singing lessons for beginners and advanced students. The lessons are aimed at anyone who wants to get to know their voice better, improve their singing technique, or develop musically and artistically.

In our lessons, we work on topics such as breathing technique, posture, resonance, intonation, expression, and musical interpretation. I tailor the lessons to your personal goals and skill level, whether you want to sing classical music, opera, musicals, or simply with more freedom and confidence.

Through my opera studies at the Berlin University of the Arts and my experience in dealing with people of different age groups, I place particular emphasis on a relaxed, motivating and creative learning atmosphere.

Lessons can be held in German, English or Chinese.

Lessons may include:

• Technique and posture
• Intonation and ear training
• Music reading and rhythm
• Musical expression and interpretation
• Music theory

Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching approach, repertoire, and lesson structure to suit individual needs and objectives. My aim is to help you build strong musical skills, gain confidence, and most importantly, enjoy the process of learning and making music.

Deutsch unten -
I started learning piano at the age of five and was lucky enough to work with the same teacher for thirteen years. During my university years at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg and the Universität der Künste Berlin, I had the chance to experience different teachers and approaches to music. Through this, I came to understand how important it is to find a teacher you connect with, and how our needs can change throughout our musical journey.

In my teaching, I prioritise giving my students the tools they need to become independent musicians themselves: knowing how to practise effectively, improving their sight-reading skills (which opens up an entire library of music), understanding their own strengths and areas where they can improve, and building a solid foundation of basic music theory as far as it is relevant for their piano playing.

A typical lesson looks like this: we start with a warm-up, review the previous week's practice, work on current repertoire, and set clear goals for the week ahead. I focus on helping students approach new music with more understanding and confidence.

At the same time, I feel that individuality can sometimes be overlooked in the process of improving as musicians. For me, it is equally important to leave space for creativity, through improvisation, exploring different interpretation options, listening to different recordings, and discovering different repertoire or musical styles.

Ich habe im Alter von fünf Jahren mit dem Klavierspielen begonnen und hatte das Glück, dreizehn Jahre lang mit derselben Lehrerin zu arbeiten. Während meiner Studienzeit an der Universität Mozarteum Salzburg und der Universität der Künste Berlin hatte ich die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Lehrer und unterschiedliche musikalische Ansätze kennenzulernen. Dadurch habe ich verstanden, wie wichtig es ist, eine Lehrperson zu finden, mit der man gut zusammenpasst, und dass sich unsere Bedürfnisse im Laufe unserer musikalischen Entwicklung verändern können.

In meinem Unterricht ist es mir wichtig, meinen Schüler die Werkzeuge zu geben, die sie brauchen, um selbstständige Musiker zu werden: zu wissen, wie man effektiv übt, die eigenen Fähigkeiten im Blattspiel weiterzuentwickeln (was einem eine ganze Bibliothek an Musik eröffnet), die eigenen Stärken und Bereiche zur Verbesserung zu erkennen und eine solide Grundlage in der Musiktheorie aufzubauen – soweit sie für das eigene Klavierspiel relevant ist.

Eine typische Unterrichtsstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Wir beginnen mit einem Warm-up, schauen uns die Übewoche an, arbeiten am aktuellen Repertoire und setzen klare Ziele für die kommende Woche. Dabei möchte ich meinen Schüler helfen, neue Musik mit mehr Verständnis und Selbstvertrauen zu erarbeiten.

Gleichzeitig habe ich das Gefühl, dass die eigene Individualität im Prozess der musikalischen Weiterentwicklung manchmal zu kurz kommt. Für mich ist es genauso wichtig, Raum für Kreativität zu schaffen, durch Improvisation, das Ausprobieren verschiedener Interpretationsmöglichkeiten, das Anhören unterschiedlicher Aufnahmen und das Entdecken verschiedener Repertoires oder musikalischer Stile.
