Omar was invited as guest director of the Arab Music Ensemble (ASWAT) in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We just had a concert on June 3, last weekend. He will leave for Jordan soon.
I met him 2 weeks ago and am doing
intensive with him on techniques, maqam study and taqaseem.
He has an amazing teaching method, and has written 6 books from beginner to master level.
He teaches at the Jordan Academy of Music.
Below are links that may tell you more. However, the credentials on the Jordan Academy of Music website is outdated.
