You’ll get a feel for my teaching style right away, and I’m sure I’ll have some tips for you that you can benefit from immediately!

Flute lessons for children aged 5 and up

Children often find the flute magical, a "magic flute"! Its sound is enchanting, and the technique is quite accessible. It is an ideal melodic instrument for children; it’s like a piece of "musical toy" that sparks the imagination. I love introducing children to music, and, of course, specifically to the flute!

Flute lessons in Turkish

For many parents, it is important that their children hear and speak Turkish regularly. Moreover, combining music lessons in Turkish with an understanding of Turkish music (among other styles) benefits your child's development. Schedule an appointment to meet. No waiting list at the moment.

What will your child learn?

Your child will learn to read music, and we'll discover how to conjure up a beautiful sound from the flute! We'll start with simple exercises, then quickly move on to fun modern and classical pieces, simple duets, games, and digital tools. Book a trial lesson. No waiting list at the moment.

Book a trial lesson to discover the flute!

The best way to see if you, or your child, will really love the flute is simply to give it a try for a while. A trial lesson is the perfect opportunity to meet, discuss everything, and try out the instrument.

Beginners - All Ages

Everyone is welcome, regardless of age or background. You don't need to own an instrument or be able to read music. Just bring your curiosity.

How do we start?

We'll start with simple breathing and sound exercises, and you'll experience the benefits of a relaxed posture. We'll continue with your favourite music, whether it's classical, pop, or folk melodies. Reading music and basic musical knowledge are part of the lessons.

Advanced discover new repertoire

For experienced flutists, I offer an in-depth exploration of classical repertoire, orchestral excerpts, and chamber music, from Baroque to contemporary. Enjoy the beautiful repertoire of many flute duets!

About Me

I am a flutist, teacher, composer, and founder of the International Flute Academy in the Netherlands. I hold the First Prize for Virtuosity and a Teaching Diploma from the Geneva Conservatory, both signed by Emmanuel Pahud, a distinction held by no other flutist worldwide. I also hold a master's degree and a doctorate, having studied with Emmanuel Pahud, Maxence Larrieu, Patrick Gallois, and J.M. Tanguy.

Musical Career

As a performing musician, I have performed as a soloist and served as principal flutist with leading orchestras. I was invited to be a jury member at the International Flute Congress in Nice and was awarded the academic title of professor by the State Conservatory of Istanbul University.

Composer

Besides performing and teaching, I also compose. My solo work, "Lament and Blacksea Dance," published by Scherzo Edition, was recognized by the National Flute Association in their Newly Published Music Competition in 2025. Today I combine decades of stage experience with a supportive, clear and results-oriented approach to teaching.
