HOURS OF MUSIC RECORDINGS
Music from our workshops is always recorded. After a performance, we play recordings for participants to hear the music they made together.

About Us
Berk Ozturk
After earning a Master’s in Music Technology from NYU, Berk spent decades honing his craft as a music producer/audio engineer. His love of music production is what initially inspired the idea for Push Play Sing. In our workshops, he’s playing a djembe while running all the tech in the background. Fun fact about Berk, he used to work as a professional dog trainer.
Max Puhala
Whether it’s on-stage performing with local bands or in the classroom teaching music to his students, Max has a skillset that’s second-to-none. A UNC Chapel Hill alumni, in our workshops you can find Max with a ukulele in hand leading our participants through their music making journeys. Fun fact about Max, he has a new cat named “Melody.”
