Frequently asked questions
What are your rates and how long is a session?
Online Sessions: $65 USD for a 50-minute specialized lesson.
In-Person Sessions: $150 USD for a single session or $200 USD for a double session.
Note: In-person sessions are subject to studio availability and location parameters.
How do I prepare for my first lesson?
For online lessons, you only need a stable internet connection and a device with a camera/microphone. For all sessions, it is helpful to have 1 or 2 songs in mind that you would like to work on so we can jump straight into the material.
Where do the lessons take place?
I offer online sessions via Zoom for global students. In-person sessions can be held at my studio in Çekmeköy or potentially at the student's home in Istanbul. Please note that availability for in-person lessons is limited.
What is your teaching background?
I hold a degree in Contemporary Vocal Performance from London and have over a decade of experience as a professional singer and songwriter. Having previously taught at institutions such as doremusic and Nazlı Işıldak Music Academy, I now focus exclusively on private coaching. While my practice centers on established artists and professional development, I continue to work with dedicated beginners who are looking for a high-level technical foundation.
Do I need a musical background or prior experience to start?
Not at all. I work with everyone from absolute beginners to professional recording artists. In our first session, I will evaluate your current vocal abilities and we will create a roadmap based on your specific goals.
What is your cancellation policy?
To maintain a consistent schedule for all students, I require 24 hours' notice for any cancellations or rescheduling requests.
Can we conduct the lessons in Turkish?
Yes, lessons can be held in Turkish. However, I typically conduct sessions in English as it is my native language and often beneficial for students aiming to work on international repertoire. We can adapt the language based on your comfort level and goals.
Can we work on songs in different languages or genres?
Absolutely. We can work on songs in any language and across any modern genre—including Pop, Rock, Soul, R&B, and more. My goal is to help you apply healthy technical foundations to the music you are most passionate about.
