Instrument Required: Enhancing Your Learning Journey

Discovering and studying a new instrument can be a rewarding experience. However, it is essential to have your own instrument to fully immerse yourself in the learning process. Without access to an instrument at home for practice, you may feel frustrated and hindered in your musical development.

Jawa
Oud/ Ud lessons. Arabic singing lessons. Arabic and Turkish music theory. Makam/Maqam music.
Jawa (1996) a Syrian oud player, singer and composer. I was born in Aleppo, and I grew up in Damascus, Syria. I started playing music at the age of eleven. I chose the Oud as my instrument because my father used to play it everyday at home when I was young. Gradually, I fell in love with it and now I feel an unlimited feeling of freedom while playing it. Graduated from Rotterdam Conservatory in 2021.

Ziad
Oud and oriental Arabic singing lessons with an experienced teacher
Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years. My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies. Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.

Singing and playing the oud or piano are effective tools for improving communication skills. The singer or instrumentalist must focus on coordination and interaction with the music and with the audience in the event of a public performance. It requires a great deal of concentration, listening to others, and interacting well with them.
