Why learn with me
Fifteen years of teaching, distilled into lessons you’ll actually look forward to.
I’ve taught from conservatoires to absolute beginners on apartment balconies. The thread tying it all together: meeting students where they are, and making the hard parts genuinely enjoyable.
♪
Built around you
No two students get the same lesson plan. We start from your goals — Sunday-afternoon pieces, working pro chops, exam prep — and reverse-engineer the path.
𝄢
Online or in studio
Lessons happen on Zoom (with proper audio routing — no painful compression) or in my Istanbul studio. Both work; pick whatever fits your week.
𝄞
Bilingual teaching
English or Türkçe — whichever you think in. Musical ideas land differently in your mother tongue, so let’s use the one that makes them stick.

I had given up piano twice as an adult. Erim’s lessons are the first time it’s felt like making music rather than performing competence. Six months in, I play every day.
