Hi, I’m Evren — a Los Angeles-based composer, songwriter, musician, and music instructor with over 20 years of experience.

Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, I studied under one of the country’s leading composers at Istanbul University before moving to Los Angeles to continue my education at LA Music College. I later completed studies in Film Scoring and Audio Production at UCLA.

I’ve been teaching Guitar and Bass Guitar for over two decades, working with students of all ages and skill levels. I’m often told I have a natural ability to communicate complex musical concepts in a way that’s clear, practical, and inspiring.

As an active performer and recording artist in LA, I bring real-world, professional insights into every lesson. I’ve released several albums and composed original scores for network TV shows, both short films and a feature film.

In addition to performance and technique, I can help with:

Music composition and songwriting

Music theory (beginner to advanced)

AP Music Theory prep

Film scoring fundamentals

Studio and recording tips

Recording & Notation Software.

Great tutor!

I've taken 5-6 lessons with Evren now and have thoroughly enjoyed the lessons! He includes a good mix of theory, finger exercises and small songs/jingles in every lesson.

Motivating music coach

My son really enjoys his sessions with Evren. I do not need to remind him to practice. My son is 14 and finds the time spent with online lessons very interesting and likes to work on the new things Evren gives him.. Reminders that he has a music lesson are met with a smile..

Evren taught me how to "bounce" tracks and use shortcuts in Pro Tools. He sent links to pertinent videos regarding my specific questions. He is an excellent teacher and I look forward to our next session!

Karen, 4 lessons with Evren

The best music theory teacher

My girls really love taking music theory lessons with Evren. They have tried many theory teachers for the past three years and found Evren to be the best. He explains in a clear, fun way that kids understand and enjoy. He doesn't overteach or underteach. He knows what information each of my girls should know at their developmental stages and gives the right amount of information. He is clearly experienced and is great with children. We look forward to continuing the weekly lessons with Evren.

Very knowledgeable teacher!

Thank you Evren for giving me in-depth answers to my questions regarding the fundamentals of sound and recording. You also went above and beyond by providing me with outside resources of information on the audio terminology that was discussed in the lesson. That way I can do further research on those topics and will always have something to refer to. Thank you!
