I specialize in teaching cultural music from around the world. I teach both history and ethnic instrument music instruction. Some of the instruments i teach are the Indian classical and folk tabla, Afghani rubab, Middle Eastern Oud, Middle Eastern Dumbek, Deff (frame drums), traditional flamenco rhythms and more on cajon, flamenco guitar and more. The History class is exclusively for those interested in learning about world music history. I focus on a region or country of the world every 3 weeks. Students get to learn the history, spiritual traditions, music and more in each of these 3 weeks. There is alot of discussions and listening to various forms of ethnic music. Including watching videos. This is a perfect class for those who are interested in cultural awarness The music instruction class is for those who are interested in learning basics to advanced skills on various ethnic instruments. I am very adapting to where the student wants to take their lessons. If the lessons are for a purpose of general learning skills which they can incooperate into their own styles, then I focus on that. If the lessons are for traditional advanced tecnical performance on an instrument, then i focus on that. I also teach these music classes with a therapeautic/ spiritual focus for those who may want that approach.
