Working with Segat has been great, he is very professional and puntual, and was able to fit us in his busy schedule. Would recommend him for your guitar or music lesson needs!

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.

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!
