Sedat is a one of a kind music teacher that for the last couple of years has been teaching guitar and piano to my kids (6 and 8) and my husband. He's great with kids -- patient and encouraging, and can pivot to teaching adults just as easily. Sedat organizes an annual Bay area wide recital which shows off everyone's hard work and is such a memorable experience. Thank you Sedat!!

Our son really enjoys Sedat’s guitar lessons. He says Sedat is very kind, simplifies songs to make them easier to learn, and is always willing to teach any song he wants to play. We highly recommend Sedat!!

I got a lot of pointers on the basics of playing the guitar well, and he was helpful in giving suggestions on what to practice on my own. I never had an intention of setting a strict schedule to meet, and he was very accommodating of it, communicating in advance when he could hold lessons.

I have been working with Sedat for a while. Befor starting with Sedat, I've been looking for a teacher who can not only improve my knowledge of music theory, but also who can show me how the theory applies to improving my guitar playing and enable me to move beyond the pentatonic scale. Sedat checks the boxes on all of the above - he brings to the table a very strong knowledge of the theory, and he is actually a performing player who can help connect the dots. I highly recommend Sedat for players of all levels who want to see a significant leap in their guitar journey.
Details: 45 - 64 years old • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Yes, can read guitar tabs • Electric • Rock • Blues • Jazz • Yes, the student has an instrument • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
