As a pianist with experience performing and teaching classical repertoire, my classes are designed for students who wish to perfect their technique, develop an authentic interpretation in keeping with the style of each era, and work on specific exercises to strengthen their piano playing. My goal is to guide you so that you not only play the piano, but also live it, understanding each piece from its artistic and musical essence.
Extra information
I suggest students have a good quality acoustic piano or keyboard to practice on.

It is recommended to have a music notebook (stave) and pencil to write down exercises and important comments.

For the classical repertoire, I will suggest specific scores, which can be obtained in physical or digital format.

If you have any questions about any material or instrument, I will be happy to advise you.

Hi, my name is Jeremy and I've played music for 19 years, having performed over 200 concerts and composed with a wide variety of groups and ensembles across England and Belgium in many genres (Funk, R&B, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Alternative, Punk and more).

In these lessons, I will help you reach your goals while having fun in the process, keeping the lessons structured and tailored to your personal needs. I have 5 years of experience helping students improve as well as specialist knowledge in a multitude of styles. Some examples of what you might learn include:

- Correct hand positioning & posture for best performance and faster learning.
- Learning your favorite songs quickly and easily.
- Breaking down rhythms & dynamics
- Understanding the role of bass playing in a band.
- Understanding what makes a good bassline and composing your own.
- Essential music theory for bass & more advanced techniques (eg: melodic techniques, rhythmic, slap bass, etc)
- How to improvise, jam and play with other musicians.

Appropriate homework/exercises and recordings are provided during lessons. I also like to give advice and direction for people with musical aspirations. I'm also an empathetic person that loves teaching, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

As an experienced music theory tutor and professional pianist, I use a curriculum established by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) in the UK to guide students from grades 1-8 (beginning up to early-advanced levels) towards mastery of music theory. We can start from the beginning and work your way up, or find a suitable level based on prior knowledge. My students regularly achieve highest marks in the ABRSM exams following this system. However, if exams are not your goal, and you would simply like a deeper level of theoretical understanding of your music pieces, we apply the insights gained from this course directly to the pieces you are studying without a lot of stress.


Course components include:

Notation and solfège
Rhythm
Meter
Scales + Arpeggios
Intervals
Chords
Cadences
Harmonic Function
Form and Analysis

My background in music theory derives from my professional musical training in the USA where I followed advanced honors-level music theory, ear-training, musical analysis, and orchestral conducting courses in addition to my regular piano performance studies. The insights provided from these analytical courses have proved immensely beneficial to my own life as a pianist. This knowledge not only speeds up the learning process for a musical piece, but also increases confidence in performance by enhancing memorization skills and providing a higher level of awareness of the components which drive musical phrasing and expression. A knowledge of music theory is therefore a crucial element for proficiency of any instrument and a huge aid to any serious music student.

Hello! I've been teaching nonstop for over 10 years, and I'd love to tell you what a class with me offers:

100% personalized approach: The first step is to define your goals. Learning for pleasure? Preparing for entrance exams? Or taking the professional leap? I'll adapt the methodology, curriculum, and even the repertoire to your goals.

Dynamic environment (without losing rigor): Relaxed but demanding classes, where practical methods (and my irremediable sense of humor) prevail.

Hearing + Musicality + Analysis: We'll work on listening, understanding, and analyzing your musical references. The goal: for you to make artistic decisions with confidence and feel music as your own.

No stylistic biases: For me, all music is valid. We'll explore everything from classical to electronic, using each style to work on key aspects: melody, harmony, production... We'll even explore genres you're unfamiliar with together!

Important! I balance classes with concerts and projects. Although you're my priority, I appreciate the occasional flexibility to reschedule (only when strictly necessary).

If you like this approach, write to me! Learning music is an exciting journey, and I'd love to be your guide.

The rule is simple: don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself! Students are encouraged to try, fail, and overall be proactive in learning new information in bite-sized chunks: all of that in a warm and comforting environment.

Depending on the personal goal of the student, we will learn/refine/explore the following topics:
- Fundamental techniques of playing electric bass
- Understanding and coming up with a bassline
- What makes it groove?
- How to improvise: soloing and walking bass
- How to change the underlying harmonies of a song to make it sound cooler (or weirder!)
- Understanding how the musical elements are glued in a song, and if you dare, how to write one yourself
- How to learn music or play music by ear

Languages: English (fluent), German (B1 and improving), Korean (native)

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :)

- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).

About me
I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

Possible topics:
- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop).
- Rhythm, time signatures & tempo.
- Music theory for producers/songwriters.

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Hello and nice to meet you! My name is Sara ~

My experience with guitar started with classical guitar when I was 6 years old and moving on to playing electric guitar at age 14.
Being immersed in playing primarily blues and jazz music.

I have taught students who not only do music as a hobby, but also students with serious career plans in music. I am open to various styles of playing guitar (jazz, blues, fingerstyle, funk, free improvisation and other popular genres) to all levels.

My approach is heavily focused on individual student's goals and needs: If you are just starting to play the instrument, for instance, we will focus on learning the basic technique through simple and easy songs.
If you are intermediate or advanced player already, we will focus on refining your already existing knowledge and find improvements to work on. Or, we can focus on specific themes, for instance improvisation, transcribing, technique and so on.

I also enjoy music theory very much and as I too struggled with grasping the concept when I was younger I am now more than happy to be able to present the world of music theory to anyone who is interested.
We can begin with the basics that can help you improve on your instrument or we can dive deeper into more advanced fields of jazz theory.
Whether you would like to learn music theory for practicality or you have an exam soon and would like to revise/learn more, I am more than happy to help you out on your music theory journey.

Piano Lessons in Bebek, Istanbul – Children & Adults

With 15 years of teaching experience, I offer individual piano lessons for children from age 3, as well as teenagers and adults, at Poco Piano, a boutique music studio located in Bebek, Istanbul.

Lessons are individually planned according to each student's age, level, learning pace and musical goals. My approach combines classical piano training with music theory, sight-reading, ear training and musicianship, creating a strong musical foundation rather than focusing only on learning individual pieces.

For young beginners (ages 3–6), lessons are adapted to the child's attention span and developmental stage. The first goal is to build a positive relationship with the instrument and teacher while gradually introducing rhythm, pitch, keyboard orientation and basic musical concepts.

For school-age students, teenagers and adults, lessons may include classical repertoire, technique, sight-reading, music theory and preparation for internationally recognised music examinations.

ABRSM & LCME Exam Preparation

I provide preparation for ABRSM and London College of Music (LCME) practical and theory examinations. Lessons can include repertoire preparation, technical work, sight-reading, aural skills and music theory according to the student's level and examination requirements.

Conservatory & Music Theory Support

Academic support is also available for students who need help with solfège, music theory, harmony or conservatory-related coursework.

Practical Information

All prices listed for lessons at Poco Piano include VAT (Value Added Tax), and lessons take place at our studio in Bebek, Istanbul.

Home/private lessons can also be arranged upon request. These lessons are scheduled and priced separately depending on location and availability.

Poco Piano offers:

• Piano lessons from age 3 for children, teenagers and adults
• Classical guitar lessons from age 8
• Beginner ukulele lessons from age 5
• ABRSM & LCME practical and theory exam preparation
• Music theory, solfège and harmony support
• Conservatory preparation and academic music support
• Lessons in Turkish or entirely in English
• Online music theory and exam-preparation lessons
• An annual studio concert, giving students the opportunity to perform in front of an audience

New students may attend a short complimentary introductory session before registration. This session is designed to meet the teacher, discuss the student's goals and determine the most appropriate lesson programme and duration.

Regular lessons are individually planned according to the student's age, level and musical goals.

Hello! I’m Vivek, a professional guitar instructor specializing in structured, goal-oriented online lessons for acoustic and electric guitar, ukulele, and music theory.

Why Learn With Me?

Internationally Recognized Curricula: I seamlessly integrate graded syllabuses from world-class examination boards like Rockschool and Trinity College London. These provide an incredible, structured catalog of song options and foundational exercises that guarantee steady, measurable progress.

Pedagogically Sound Sequencing: No random YouTube tutorials or guesswork. Every lesson follows a carefully optimized sequence designed to instill great physical habits, build fretboard fluency, and maximize your growth for the practice time you put in.

Creativity From Day One: Theory and technique are important, but music is about expression. From the very beginning in our lessons, we will work on crafting simple melodies, understanding chord progressions, and developing your own improvisational voice.

Comprehensive Practice Support: Every session is backed by custom digital resources, synced notation/tabs, demo & backing tracks, and structured practice routines so you always know what to focus on between classes.

Distance is never a barrier. My lessons run over a stable, high-speed fiber connection with HD video positioned so you always have a clear view of both my fretting and picking hands. Combined with musician-optimized audio settings and real-time screen sharing for tabs, chord charts, and notation, every session feels just as clear and interactive as sitting in the same room.

Pedagogically Sound Sequencing: No random YouTube tutorials or guesswork. Every lesson follows a carefully optimized sequence designed to instill great physical habits, build fretboard fluency, and maximize your growth for the practice time you put in.

Creativity From Day One: Theory and technique are important, but music is about expression. From the very beginning in our lessons, we will work on crafting simple melodies, understanding chord progressions, and developing your own improvisational voice.

Comprehensive Practice Support: Every session is backed by custom digital resources, synced notation/tabs, demo & backing tracks, and structured practice routines so you always know what to focus on between classes.

Distance is never a barrier. My lessons run over a stable, high-speed fiber connection with HD video positioned so you always have a clear view of both my fretting and picking hands. Combined with musician-optimized audio settings and real-time screen sharing for tabs, chord charts, and notation, every session feels just as clear and interactive as sitting in the same room.
