His utter passion for music comes alive through every sound that pours out of him. “

“Ege brings a magical element into class as soon as he starts to play. His music takes you on a journey unlike any other I’ve ever experienced. Students none stop come up and say how much it changed their practice. I can’t thank him enough for sharing his gifts”
