Introduction: Hello there! As a NYC based musician, being trained by the best artists and teachers in my field at Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music, i was able to establish a great career both as a performer and instructor. I know from my own experience that it is very important to establish a solid technical foundation right from the beginning when learning any instrument. I can gladly help you achieve that! I feel the need to pass my knowledge on to others who are willing to excel in the art of music. It is my pleasure to share my experience and knowledge with people of all ages who want to enjoy music and learn playing the Violin 🎻

It is our privilege to have Yigit as my kid’s violin teacher and he has our strongest recommendation. The moment you hear Yigit plays the violin, you will know instantly that he’s a talented violinist with great virtuosity. At the same time, Yigit is a great teacher. He strikes the balance of being encouraging and setting the right expectation for his student. He strives to build a strong foundation for my kid and instills in him the right attitude from the very beginning. Patient and friendly, Yigit manages to keep the class engaging and he explains in ways that are understandable for a young kid with metaphors. We can not recommend Yigit more and we cherish the opportunity to have classes with such a great violinist and teacher!

Details: Younger than 6 years old • No formal training • Yes, the student can read music • Classical violin • Classical • No, but the student is planning to purchase a violin and would like the teacher's advice on it • 45 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

I had taken Master Violin lessons from many violinists in the past! Mr Karatas stands out among them as a virtuosic, and talented young violin teacher who exudes educational insight and exceptional professionalism. His educational techniques in teaching violin surpasses many seasoned violin teachers decades older than him. Highly recommended!

Yigit is the best teacher I’ve ever met for my daughter’s violin lesson. He is Patient, Professional, Fun, and Motivated. Very easy to communicate with. She has done a wonderful job with clear instructions, focused, and fun is the best description of his lessons. I sincerely appreciate for him 💕

I heard Yiğit play at Carnegie Hall. It was a religious experience, so it took me some time to get up the nerve to ask him for lessons, but I’m really glad I did! His passion for the violin and his immense talent translate into his teaching. In addition to the basics of playing the instrument, he’s taught me a huge amount about music and about the kind of sensitivity needed to play with feeling. He is truly an outstanding teacher!
