A Different Experience with Violin Melodies in Creative Writing Workshop at Izmir Bilfen High Schools

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, the event organized at our school gave our students unforgettable moments. In the workshop titled “Associative Writing with Violin Melodies”, the transformative power of writing was explored accompanied by the fascinating timbres of the violin.
The event offered our students both an inner journey and a literary experience. In the workshop, which was accompanied by the live performance of professional violinist Gündüz ÖĞÜT, students put into words the feelings that the pieces played evoked in them.
The workshop leader, writer and State Symphony Violinist stated that the aim of the event was to deepen written expression by using the effect of music on emotions. Gündüz Öğüt said, "With the soul-stirring sound of the violin, participants come into contact with subconscious emotions and images. The resulting writings are very powerful in both personal and literary terms."
