About
Hello there! As an NYC-based musician trained by top artists at Juilliard and holding a Doctor of Musical Arts that instilled deep pedagogical and artistic knowledge in me, I have built a rewarding career as both a performer and an instructor. I know firsthand how vital it is to establish a solid technical foundation right from the start when learning an instrument, and I love helping students achieve their goals faster. I feel a strong calling to pass my knowledge on to those who want to excel in the art of music. It is my absolute pleasure to share my experience with students of all ages who want to enjoy music and learn to play the violin—whether it is for you or your loved ones.

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.

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 💕

Yigrit is my second violin teacher. The last one was a complete disappointment to me. I almost lost hope in learning my dream instrument. When I reached out to Yigrit, he promptly responded and set a schedule for me for a free trial which I appreciated. We exchanged each other’s goals and expectations. He’s very competent, meticulous, and professional. He’s a master soloist and can play anything I request from him. Learning with him rekindled my passion for learning violin again. So if you’re an adult beginner like me, look no further—Yig is the best of the best! Plus, my cats love him!

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!
