For players ready to go deeper. Over twelve weeks you'll refine your technique, explore the emotional depth of maqamat, and build the skills that turn practice into performance.
Master the art of embellishment — trills, mordents, slides, and vibrato — to bring every note to life with authentic Arabic expression.
Learn the architecture of a taqsim: how to introduce a maqam, develop its phrases, build tension, and resolve with grace and intention.
Move beyond the basics into complex maqamat, microtonal intervals, and the subtle emotional colors that distinguish each scale.
Develop your unique voice on the Oud through tone control, phrasing choices, and the confidence to interpret music your own way.
Expand your taqsim vocabulary with advanced melodic patterns, rhythmic freedom, and real-time responsiveness to the moment.
Study semai, longa, bashraf, and regional folk forms. Understand their structures and how to move between composed and improvised sections.
Receive a tailored practice plan and feedback loop designed to take you from competent player to confident, stage-ready performer.
