Crystal Academy Istanbul

to meet and work with the well-known Turkish Modern Music composer, Nevit Kodallı. Later on, during his undergraduate studies at the Business Management Department at Marmara University in Istanbul, he followed classes on the theory, history and performance of Turkish Traditional Music at one of Istanbul’s oldest traditional music schools, Uskudar Music Association. Meanwhile, between 2000 - 2004, he also continued his choral work, first as a tenor chorister, then, as an alto chorister in one of Turkey's first western polyphonic music choirs, the Istanbul European Choir. Thus he was able to continue to improve his knowledge and understanding of both traditional and western music. During this period, he took diction and public speaking lessons from the professor of Turkish Literature Ulku Emil, and he also prepared and presented radio programmes on Veys FM where he introduced the composers of Turkish Traditional Music and their pieces . Later at Beloit College in Wisconsin he took courses on Theatre, Music and Psychology and performed on stage in theatre plays, dance performances and music concerts. He started to study the traditional western singing technique, “Bel Canto”, in his voice lessons with Eudora Shepherd at Beloit College. At the college, he also continued producing and presenting radio programmes, this time on world music. After he had returned to Istanbul, he took singing and solfége classes at Istanbul University State Conservatoire as a part-time student. Between 2007 and 2010 in the MA Music Program at the Athens Campus of Indianiapolis University in Greece, Eldeniz deepened his knowledge of the Bel Canto technique in the voice lessons with the renowned opera singer Spyros Sakkas. He participated in the workshops on bodywork, breathwork and voice at Sakkas' Voice Studio in Athens. He participated in the masterclasses by Belgian countertenor, Peter Ickx and mezzosoprano Romina Basso, as well. Between 2007 and 2011, Eldeniz sang as a countertenor at recitals organized in the Istanbul Baroque International Music Festival at various historical venues in Istanbul including the Galata Genoese Building, Dolmabahce Palace, the Austrian Cultural Office, and the Chapel of the Swedish Palace. He is currently now continuing his musical academic work through his thesis in the MA program at the Musicology Deparment at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University State Conservatoire. He has carried out academic researches concerning Western Music composers, Indian, Byzantine and Greek music. He has carried out a research in the Ottoman archive on Ali Ufki's compositions and musical compilation including the first examples of Turkish Music scores with western notation in seventeenth century, which led to the recordings of the two of Ufki’s compositions in the Ottoman Baroque Music album which was released by Kalan Music in 2009 in Istanbul. Eldeniz took courses on acting and scene at Beloit College where he studied Method Acting under Rod Umlas, and various theatre schools (Barba, Brecht, Artaud, Grotowski, Boal) as well as genres (forum theatre, invisible theatre, street performances, image theatre, psychodrama) under Amy Sarno. Having returned to Istanbul, he followed the Musical Theatre classes by renowned actor and director Haldun Dormen and Acting classes by renowned actress Ayla Algan. In 2015, he expanded his work on performing arts with a new area, stage directing, with his production of Euripides' well-known tragedy Bacchae. In time, Eldeniz's career in the field of arts merged with the knowledge, understanding and experience he acquired through his trainings in psychotherapy and he started to work in the field of arttherapy; namely, dramatherapy and musictherapy. After attending the graduate program in Organizational Behavior (organizational psychology) at Marmara University, to deepen his understanding on human psychology, he has been following the trainings in Istanbul provided by two different institutions in psychotherapy; the World Association of Positive Psychotherapy in Germany and the European Body Psychotherapy Association in
Netherlands. In 2010 and 2011 he started Music Psychology classes at the Musicology Department of the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University State Conservatoire where he shared his understanding, knowledge and experience with his students. Thus he started his career of academic teaching. Between 2011 and 2015, he went on lecturing on Music Psychology at the Music Department at Bilgi University in Istanbul. Moreover, in 2014 and 2015, he taught courses on Managing Self- Performance and Conflict Resolution at the Psychology Department at Halic University in Istanbul. Eldeniz continues his performances as a countertenor-baritone singer, and provides acting coaching sessions for actors for television series and movie projects and voice coaching sessions for singers. He conducts Workshops on Body-Breath-Voice and Acting at private acting schools and gives singing and acting classes at various other institutions and occasions. Since 2004, he has been providing counselling and tranings for individuals and organizations while continuing his academic career through his course on Vocal Performance at the Performing Arts Deparment at Bilgi University, and the courses on Music Business & Turkish Music Industry and Twentieth Century Music at Bahcesehir University.
