About Me

Jawa (1996) a Syrian oud player. 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. When I was six, I started ballet dance lessons.

At the age of eleven I had to join music classes in order to reach a higher level of ballet dancing. I studied music at Sulhi Al Wadi music institute In Damascus and after one year of studying music, the Oud became my passion.

I decided to study music and six years later, I graduated at the same music school as where I have started.

In 2012 I went to Egypt with my family, and there I continued my music study at “Beit El Oud” the Arabic Oud House institute under the supervision of the Iraqi Oud player Naseer Shamma.

In 2014 I went to Istanbul to receive private lessons by the Turkish oud player Nacati Celik.

Since June 2015, I have been based in the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands, I got to know great Dutch and international musicians whom I had the chance to perform with and who allowed me to learn more and enrich my knowledge about music.

About myself
I am Gulnara and I am a professional classical singer. As a soloist I sing leading roles on major international stages such as Mariinsky Theater, Scottish Opera, Opera de Colombia and in the Netherlands for example in De Doelen. I studied classical singing in St. Petersburg (Russia), at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and, among others, at the famous Georg Solti Accademia in Tuscany.

At the same time, I have been teaching singing to both children and adults at different levels and with different music styles for many years. For example, I also help with the preparation for an audition.

How does the singing lesson go?
The singing lesson consists of two parts. During the recording we do singing exercises and you learn the basic singing technique. This consists of breath support, learning to sing pure tones (voicing) and articulation. Then you sing different repertoire (songs, arias, songs, etc.) and we apply what you have just learned. I also pay attention to your presentation and the artistic aspects of singing (emotion and passion!). I accompany my students on the piano. I regularly organize music evenings where the students play for each other.

Lesson to children
I teach children from 4 years old. Singing pleasure and musical development are central. Bring your favorite song! All music styles are possible. We can also organize sings with other children. If you have ambition to study at the conservatory, I can prepare you for this.

Lessons for adults
Mature with good motivation and love for music, I like to support their further musical and singing development. We are working hard! Step by step, we push your boundaries and work towards your dream or passion.

Info
For adults and children from 14 years, I teach in these Corona times in the large space with the necessary distance. I also teach via Skype. I prefer to teach during the day, for adults I can also teach in the evening.

Prices are exclusive of VAT (> 21 years old).

Piano is a beautiful form of listening to music. What's even better is being able to play the instrument yourself. I am happy to help with this, because the most important step is getting started. Once that step has been taken, things will only get easier.

I work with both books and songs that the students choose themselves, I choose the appropriate sheet music for this, because the best thing is to play songs that you really like!

Hello! Are you interested in playing the flute or piano? Do you need help with music theory? Look no further!
I'm Tjaša and I'm a professional musician with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in flute performance.
I’ve had the joy of performing with orchestras in concert halls across Europe, working alongside talented musicians, and taking part in international competitions. These experiences have enriched my artistry and deepened my love for teaching and performing.

With years of teaching experience I help students of all levels grow, have fun, and achieve their musical goals whether it’s mastering a challenging piece, improving technique, or simply discovering the joy of playing. My lessons are personalised, engaging and designed to make learning music an exciting and rewarding journey.

In addition to flute I also teach piano and offer training in solfeggio (music theory, rhythm, and ear-training skills), giving students a well-rounded musical foundation.

I'm excited to meet you!
