Support beyond your lessons

The lesson ends. Learning continues.

We are here to help you spend more time with your bağlama, consolidate what you learn and follow your own path.

  • Start from your own level.

    Whether you are picking up a bağlama for the first time or developing existing skills, our permanent teachers tailor your work to your level and goals.

  • Build on what you learn in class.

    Use the QR codes in your method book to access videos and music for the study you are practising. These resources are free for enrolled students, so you can continue your practice at home.

  • Have a place to practise.

    Use our practice rooms to spend time with your bağlama and revisit pieces from your lessons. Arrange access with your branch.

  • Plan your next step with us.

    Lesson and level records help us follow your progress. Your teacher and branch team use these records to support steady development.
