<p>Throughout this journey, I spent months refining every detail—from experimenting with print formats to designing student-friendly editions alongside the academic research format. Each version was crafted to meet the unique needs of both learners and educators, informed by my own classroom experience and a desire to support creative growth.</p>

<h3 id="now-available-for-purchase">Now Available for Purchase</h3>

<p>Both Turkish and English editions are now available in print and digital formats across multiple platforms, making them accessible for teachers, students, and fellow researchers. Sharing the results of this labor of love is deeply meaningful to me. For details, formats, and purchase options, please visit the books section on my website.</p>

<p>This repertoire is, unfortunately, under-listed by many educational programs, book series, or online platforms. As many certified and experienced classical piano teachers will agree, most lists that claim to offer repertoire at this level are actually more suitable for intermediate students. In light of the missing and incorrect information, I wanted to create a book that piano teachers can also benefit from.</p>

<p>Piano teachers who are not actual pianists (many piano teachers are not trained pianists; they are often other instrumentalists or singers who can play piano) or those who do not have much time to research repertoire often conduct lessons using only the books or popular songs available to them. I hope this book can help both them and their students, since it includes instructions on what to teach and learn.</p>

Located in Rotterdam Centrum, the studio welcomes students from across the region-Dordrecht, Gouda, Den Haag, Delft, Rhoon, Capelle, Barendrecht, Schiedam, Vlaardingen, and all neighborhoods of Rotterdam, including Kralingen, Hillegersberg, Schiebroek, Noord, West, Oost, and Zuid.</p>

<p>Not having to travel between schools has saved me around 10 hours each week, which means I am more energetic for those who come to my studio and can offer much greater flexibility in scheduling lessons.</p>

<p>Piano lessons at piano010 follow a carefully developed beginner method that combines solid note‑reading skills with musical pieces you actually enjoy playing. During the lessons, you work step by step through specially crafted sheet music that introduces different piano‑playing approaches in a clear and practical way.</p>

<p><a class="button" href="/tr/piyano/kitap/baslangic-piyano-egitimi">The research behind this method</a></p>

<p>The same materials are also available as books in different formats for self‑learning at home, so you can study at your own pace while still using the exact structure and exercises used in the studio. These books guide you through reading music, developing a healthy technique, and exploring a variety of piano styles from the very beginning.</p>
