I have admired the flute ever since I have known myself. I do not know the reason, but this has always been the case. When I finally got to start the conservatory, I unhesitatingly chose the flute. Having always said during my studentship at Faculty of Music and Fine Arts at Bilkent University “I will never ever be an instructor”, I, however, realized what a correct decision I had made by choosing to be an instructor after many years. I have found out that “learning while teaching” is indeed true, which I had previously tought was just a cliche. It makes me happy to try to find solutions to particular problems of each and every one of my students, to watch them become beter flautists, to witness their efforts. Along with them, I grow also, I increase… Playing an instrument reveals yourself in the fastest way. It is a tool to get to know yourself in this world, and the way goes on and on… You may proceed as far as you like… Lirik Nefesler have made me grow both as a musician and as an instructor. Overcoming the difficulties of playing as a group, deciding on and gathering the repertoire, keeping the harmony among the students and providing them with moral support before and after the concerts have all been my tasks, and I have undertaken all of these depending on one single thing: Love… There were times when some of them failed to play… Everybody waited courtesly until he or she caught up with. Because, they had once been unable to play as well. There were times our laughters keeped us from playing; or times when we had to play the same piece over and over again for months. I think, we have managed to turn this group work into a kind of pleasure, and we have done this altogether. Music amazes me every time I listen to it or play it. It touches my very heart. I love to go beyond the frontiers of life, to dissolve and become lost in music, in the sound of the flute. I love to meet myself in that dissappearance. Each time my fingers touch my flute, I, once again, appreciate its delicacy and its embracing me all over and I blow into it once again, knowing that no sound in the universe ever dies away…
