We feel so fortunate to have found Sedat for our 6-year-old son's piano lessons. After struggling in group classes, Sedat quickly assessed where our son was at and tailored a fun, engaging lesson plan just for him. The piano handbooks and structured approach have made a noticeable difference in just a few weeks. My son enjoys playing the piano as well. Sedat’s patience and personalized attention have truly boosted our son's confidence and progress. Highly recommend!

We recently started lessons with Sedat for two of our children, ages 7 and 12. They both really enjoy working with him and find him to be very friendly. Our 12 year old has been learning for 3 years with other teachers and she said that Sedat has motivated her to learn more and practice more, perhaps because he is challenging her in new ways with different strumming patterns and finger picking. It was hard to leave our previous teacher, but the fact that the kids have adjusted to him so quickly is a testament to his ability to teach in a kind and fun way, and find the balance to push and challenge without frustrating them. We checked several of his references and all were extremely glowing in their review.

Sedat is an amazing and a very respectful person, he knows what he is doing, my child was not interested in restarting guitar after he took a long gap, Sedat's teaching method and communication skills are so good that my child agreed to start right away.
