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. Having your instrument readily available allows you to fully embrace the joy of music and unlock your true potential.

Raafat
Teaching the oud, singing and piano - Eastern singing - Western singing - playing the oud and teaching famous songs and songs of the student’s choice.
Music can be a language that does not need words, as a singer or musician can express his feelings and thoughts through music. 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. By developing these communication skills, you will be able to communicate better in many aspects of your personal and social life.

Ziad
Oriental Arabic Oud and Singing Teacher in Mönchengladbach
Experienced Oud & Oriental singing teacher for over 8 years, Lebanese, currently residing in Mönchengladbach. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I was a teacher at Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and also offered private lessons. Additionally, I served as a concertmaster in the oriental orchestra "Loubnan Assalam" for more than 5 years. My reason for relocating to Germany is to complete my studies at the University of Kamp Lintfort. I am fluent in English, Couramment en français, ولغتي الأم هي اللغة العربية. Unfortunately, I speak only a little German (Aber leider spreche ich ein bisschen Deutsch). My recommendation for learning the Oud is to begin by studying musical notes and notation before delving into songs. While some students prefer to jump straight into playing songs, understanding the fundamentals of music notation accelerates progress in the long run. Dedication and hard work can yield significant progress within a year, enabling you to play simple tunes. However, if you lack a passion for music or the instrument itself, I advise against pursuing it. As a friendly and passionate teacher, I derive joy from witnessing my students' progress and enjoy playing duets with them. While in-person meetings are preferable, I also offer online lessons for those unable to meet in person. Feel free to leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Learn to play the Oud in addition to solfege and music theories.
The Oud is one of the most capable instruments that expresses the personality of the eastern musical heritage and at the same time has the ability to perform many styles of western music. From here, the real approach in teaching playing the Oud instrument begins, as we must mold the eastern musical heritage within an academic curriculum that guarantees the correct development of learners.
