I first gave private piano lessons in 1990, and since then have been teaching a wide variety of topics to diverse groups of students, ranging from
private oud and makam lessons (both individual and group) to audio engineering, from university lower-division survey classes to specialized graduate seminars and independent studies.
I have taught in the U.S. as well as in Turkey.
