A course to learn the bouzouki or oud instrument for all age groups and for children over 7 years old.

You can learn from scratch if you have no previous experience

The course curriculum varies from one student to another depending on his level of education on the instrument.

For students who have no previous experience, we start with special exercises for the right and left hand to play the instrument correctly and comfortably, in addition to learning to read the notes and solfege correctly, and then we continue and gradually increase the degree of difficulty of the exercises until you become able to play any note you want.

As a piano instructor, I assess a student’s proficiency based on their musical experience, learning style, and goals. My instructional approach commences with foundational skills, including solfeggio exercises to enhance reading comprehension and maintain rhythm, followed by technical exercises to refine finger dexterity and positioning. Tailoring my teaching methods to individual students’ personalities, motivations, and musical preferences is paramount. For novice learners, I employ a legato touch that fosters control and coordination. Conversely, advanced students receive specialized instruction to master intricate techniques. To maintain student engagement and motivation, I empower them to select pieces that resonate with their interests, thereby encouraging consistent practice and personal investment. Creative strategies are employed to enhance the lesson experience, particularly when students exhibit limited responsiveness or focus. My expertise encompasses musical theory, sight reading, or specific genres such as classical piano or jazz. For students interested in theory, I often integrate auditory training and improvisational exercises. For those aspiring to performance, I emphasize advanced techniques and provide professional feedback for presentations or auditions.
