Arabic oud is a magical instrument that can evoke deep emotion. It is the great great grandfather of the guitar, and many other string instruments, such as the violin. I can teach you beginning technique on the oud as well as some beloved repertoire of the Middle East by singers like Oum Kalthum, Abdul Wahab, Fairuz and more! I have studied with maestro Amro Helmy Hozny, an incredible oudist and singer from Egypt, as well as singer and actor Baha’a Abutaha, from Palestine and Jordan.
