World Music - history and instrument instructions !
From 68.66 C$ /h
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.

About Me
Hello, I want to say a few things about myself.
I am originally from India but have lived most of my life in the US. I have been an international touring artist for the past 20 years collaborating with world class artist including Gypsy Kings, Jeronimo Maya, Willie Nelson, Ustad Aashish Khan, Ustad Shujaat Khan, Baschir Attar...... I have also travelled and lived in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, musically exploring and learning about these cultures. I have hands on experience and knowledge of these cultures and their musical forms and instruments.
I bring to my music classes an authentic experience. World music is different in learning than Western traditional music such as classical or other forms. World music is not notated, so it allows a student and teacher to teach and learn by exploring the possibilities through traditional techniques, experimentation, listening/observing and mimicking, improv while connecting to a spiritual meditative awarness. I bring to my classes all of these elements of the students choosing depending on where they want to go with their musical experience.
I have taught music and Nada yoga(yogic science of sound and healing) for mentally and physically challenged students as well. I have presented at international medical and psychotherapy conferences in Heidelberg, Rottweil Germany/ Texas, Arizona, California USA/ Nepal and India while working along side doctors and psychotherapists.
