Music Masterclasses are held every year during the summer and fall seasons in Ayvalik for 12 years, focusing mostly on string instruments. Students from Turkey, Europe and even as far away as New Zealand have been gathering together for eight to ten days of intense studying, practising and performing with distinguished international faculty at this beautiful Aegean coast town.

Since 2005, other workshops and masterclasses are being held such as:
Guitar Masterclass (2005), Composition Workshop (2006-2007), Piano Masterclass (2007-2009). Public concerts are organized during the winter season.
