All ages are welcome. I am an experienced musician and educator with a B.M dual degree in Jazz Composition and Performance from Berklee College of Music, as well as a Master of Music Theory and Composition Degree in Scoring for Film and Multimedia from New York University.

I encourage learning with creativity and curiosity, which makes the lessons both fun and productive. I mainly teach voice, piano, music theory and composition lessons for all ages.

Besides these subjects, I also give lessons for ABRSM exam prep, college-bound musician prep, music theory placement exam, music history placement exam, ear training, arranging, orchestration, counterpoint, classical harmony, jazz harmony, Logic Pro, Sibelius and Pro Tools.

Formerly, I taught voice at City Music Mentoring Program in Boston, and worked as a music tutor at Berklee College of Music Learning Center for subjects such as harmony, ear training, arranging and counterpoint. As a music tutor, I was responsible for helping students, who were having trouble, advance in these subjects.

Along with teaching, I continue working as a composer and performer for a variety of local and remote projects ranging from music for film to concert music for jazz orchestra.

Please let me know if you have any questions,
Looking forward to meeting you!

She was just what I was looking for. Friendly, knowledgeable and explains well.

If you are looking to have have a complete comprehension of music, GiGi is the instructor for you. Highly trained and talented. 5 stars!!! It was obvious from the first lesson that GiGi fully understands music. I wanted an advanced level of training in composition and searched for an instructor who could meet those needs. I looked for and instructor with formal training and advanced degrees. GiGi met all my expectations and more.

Fantastic Piano Teacher

Gigi is a wonderful addition to our son's education. Before he started lessons with her, he had no idea about reading music or playing piano and he is now playing memorized songs. Not only does she engage with him, but he leaves his lessons feeling like he has learned so much and enjoys doing the recommended practice work in between lessons. Our son looks forward to his piano lessons each week and has developed a joy in learning to play. Gigi has been flexbile with her schedule and easy to work with. We recommend Gigi for anyone looking to start piano lessons for their children.

Best teacher for music composition!

I had the privilege of learning from Gigi, an amazing jazz composition teacher who is not only a talented musician but also a dedicated educator. Her engaging teaching style, passion for jazz, and personalized guidance have truly transformed my understanding of the genre. Under her mentorship, I have experienced significant growth in my musical abilities and gained confidence in jazz composition. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to explore the world of jazz and unleash their creative potential.

Wealth of Information

I love my lessons with Gizem. She is one of the best communicators I’ve ever worked with. She makes everything clear and understandable and always is able to answer questions I have clearly where I’m able to commit the information to memory. She’s extremely detail oriented as well. Every lesson, we listen to the music I’ve written and then we pick it apart, finding areas where it can be improved. It is always presented in a helpful way where she makes me feel like I’ve done a good job already but that she knows I can even do better. She suggests changes and I always take them. She clearly knows what she’s talking about and backs it up every lesson. So glad I found her. I’ve never been so excited to write music!

Excellent Teacher!

My kids have been working with Gigi over six months now. She helped my younger child establish a stronger foundation in piano and music theory. She also helped my high school daughter become a more versatile piano player through learning jazz pieces. They both really enjoyed having lessons with Gigi. Her instructions are very easy to follow along, and she makes the lessons very engaging and informative. She is very patient with providing the necessary support and pacing the lesson to maximize her students’ learning and improvement. I highly recommend Gigi.

Patient & nice

Gigi worked with my high school daughter, who wanted to try singing lessons. This was an online lesson. Per my daughter, "She was patient and nice but also helpful and informative. It feels like she really wants to help you improve"

Fantastic piano teacher

Gigi is super knowledgeable and does a great job finding what the issues are with the piano playing. She is super sweet and patient while learning something new!

Meghan, 29 lessons with Gigi

Fantastic Teacher

I've practiced with Gizem over the past month or so. She is very skilled, both as a singer and teacher. She is very attentive and clearly articulates how to improve in a way that is comfortable and fun. I've loved singing and wanted a private vocal coach for a long time but always thought it's too expensive. But with the quality level she provides, her class is worth it.
