TARIK CAVLI

In 2017, I began studying under Prof. Dr. Ayça Aytuğ, the Associate Head of the Piano Department at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. In 2018, I was accepted into the Music Department of Istanbul Bilgi University. While focusing on composition during my undergraduate studies, I never neglected piano, recording pieces such as Liszt’s *Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2* and Schubert’s *Impromptu Op. 90 No. 2* in Bilgi University’s studios. Beyond these recordings, my repertoire included many works, such as Chopin études and Beethoven sonatas, which were not recorded. After graduating from Bilgi University in 2022, I was invited to perform a recital at Yıldız Technical University, one of Turkey’s leading universities. For two years after graduation, I dedicated my time to private lessons, working with numerous students of all ages and goals, developing my own teaching methods. I am currently pursuing my master's degree and continuing my composition and piano studies at The New School's Mannes School of Music.
