In addition to performing, Akmaz is developing a comprehensive online learning program for the Balaban, designed to teach students at all levels. The program will offer structured video lessons that make the instrument accessible to beginners while providing depth and nuance for advanced musicians. Through education, Akmaz hopes to cultivate a new generation of Balaban players who will carry the tradition forward while innovating within contemporary music.

Looking ahead, Akmaz plans to collaborate with international artists, perform at major music festivals, and elevate the Balaban as a recognized instrument in modern world music.
