My son really enjoyed the lesson! Brilliant! Very recommend!

I would highly recommend Arda as a violin teacher. His approach is incremental and progressive, with a clear vision of how to take the novice student through their violin journey. He is methodical, logical, clear and articulate in his explanations with constructive and actionable feedback, and is extremely musical too, with a great knowledge of styles and repertoire. Lessons are always enjoyable, challenging and inspiring, with great pieces to play and look forward to practising in between lessons. In a few months, I have had a noticeable improvement in my playing. Always brings enthusiasm and energy to lessons, punctual and communicates well with timings. Listens well and works collaboratively.

My 8 year old son always really enjoys his lessons with Arda, and we're very happy with his progress and new found enthusiasm. Arda is always punctual and communicates well, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Arda is kind, friendly, punctual, hard working, conscientious, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional. His passion for violin is fully reflected in his lessons and shared unconditionally with his pupils. His work ethic is greatly appreciated and respected. His methodological and thorough approach helps his pupils achieve nothing short of perfections. Arda is always very polite and communicates effectively. He gives clear instructions and explanations and helps his pupils execute them through his purposeful demonstrations in his inspirational lessons. We always wish our lessons lasted longer and look forward to our next ones. We didn’t know what to expect when we first started looking for a violin teacher on Bidvine but feel that we’ve definitely discovered a gem! Thank you Bidvine! Thank you Arda!

It is my great pleasure to recommend Arda Karakaya. I have known him for a year and am very familiar with his work. Arda is a delightful person, much loved by colleagues and staff alike. Totally reliable and trustworthy, once you get beyond the formal exterior there is a man of great humour and unexpected resource. He is particularly effective in outreach and working with children. I strongly recommend that you hear Arda if at all possible.

Arda Karakaya is an outstanding professor, with so much experience, knowledge and passion for teaching. Arda is excellent for all ages, his expertise is adapting styles of teaching to each students needs, making the most out of every lesson. I highly recommend.
