I am looking for a Oud teacher in the Vancouver area of BC...

PSab - 2-3-2006 at 08:32 AM

Dear mikokiko,
Maestro Hossein Behroozinia lives in North Vancouver, BC.
you can have a look at his website http://www.barbat.us but some parts of it are still under construction. I am suprised that you were unaware of his presence here in vancouver for he is a world famous musician.

all the best,

Hi, I already play oud well but would like to learn it more formally (maqams, etc). I'm looking for a teacher, lessons, or classes in Boston, MA or somewhere near the area.

zouba - 6-22-2006 at 01:39 PM

Ararat66 - 7-6-2006 at 10:45 AM

Any teachers in the UK - I am in Portsmouth on the south coast but will travel if need be (as long as it isn't the Outer Hebrides or something). I could do with a bit of objective advice from a more experienced oudi.

oud and saz

Tommy - 8-21-2006 at 12:48 PM

I am also from Los Angeles and am looking for a teacher that can teach both Baglama and Oud. I did look at John Bilezkjian's site and he looks like a more than capable teacher; however, laguna hills is a bit far for me. Are there any Oud/Baglama Saz teacher in the West LA area that anyone knows of? I'm a beginner so I don't necessarily need a world class (i.e. expensive) teacher yet. Any contact details would be appreciated! Thanks

Benjamin - 8-22-2006 at 02:52 AM

Oud teacher in Beer Sheva

I'm also looking for a oud teacher! But in the middle of a desert, so maybe it will be harder to find, as most of people here seem to live in the USA..
It's in Beer Sheva, Israel
If somebody is there or knows somebody who is..

Benjamin

Mascun - 9-20-2006 at 07:32 AM

Hi Ylo,
Are you still looking for an oud teacher in the area of Dijon? Well, I don't know one that close to you, but in Lyon, a good friend of mine Iyad Haimour gives oud lessons, and I can tell you he is absolutely first-rate : his wide knowledge and musicianship are of the highest standards. And he is a gentle, kind man on top of that

His web address : http://www.iyadhaimour.com/

Looking for an Oud Teacher in Amman, Jordan! Please email me if you have any info that would help me find one. Thank you

Mazin - 12-25-2006 at 05:54 PM

Dear Mike

Thank you very much for this wonderful site. It is music, craft ,fun,help,generousity and it is... OUD. I have no clear idea how to establish a web site nor the time and efforts to maintain it. Is there any financial gain to cover the expences to run this web (your time and efforts) and if yes any extra money for you (tentatively saying..profit?)

Sorry to ask this question, yet it is for the sake of a suggestion to all members.

Through you Mike, thanks to Jameel for sharing his experience and to Dr Oud for all his comments and help and to all members.

I am waiting for your reply to tell all the members abuot my suggestion. It is basically between us( Members) and jameel. Dr Oud: I need your support about my suggestion and the practicality of it (see U2U please).

waiting..... :bounce:

Kelly - 1-30-2007 at 12:14 PM

Hi I've just registered although I've been looking in on forum for the good advice and friendly atmosphere for a few months now. I'm sure there must be other players and even teachers in the Text Manchester area. I'm interested in arabic styles but at my early stage any expert help would be much appreciated.

Iznogoud - 2-26-2007 at 02:29 PM

Any oud teachers in Finland?

Been playing oud for about 3½ years, guitar for 13 years. Interested in deepening my knowledge of the instrument; also exploring oud-inspired techniques and phrasing on the acoustic guitar.

Also, if there are good teachers in either Beirut, Lebanon or Cairo, Egypt on this forum, or any of you guys would be able to suggest someone and share their contact information, I'd really appreciate it. Have plans to make a trip to Beirut and/or Cairo in the spring/summer with hopes to find a mentor for private instruction.

Thanks!

Live online lessons with video/audio

mavrothis - 12-20-2007 at 04:56 PM

Hi everyone,

If anyone is interested in taking online lessons with me, it will be my pleasure to help you out with technique and theory on the oud.

I have accounts with SKYPE and iChat, and having tried them they both seem to work fine. My user name on both services is: outistas

All you need is a compatible video camera on your computer and a microphone so that I can see and hear you. I will accept payments through my paypal account.

For anyone who is far away and comfortable on the computer/internet, this should be very easy and helpful I think.

Since this is a very long thread, feel free to contact me via email or U2U, and I will get back to you as soon as possible and answer any of your questions related to the online lessons.

Take care,

mavrothis kontanis

Jeremy - 2-12-2008 at 01:05 PM

It looks like this thread has also become students looking for teachers, so I'll jump in. I just came home to Eastern Connecticut with an oud, having had one lesson in Jerusalem. Any teachers in Eastern Connecticut or central Massachusetts or even Rhode Island (Hartford-Springfield-Providence-New London is about my travel limits)?
Thanks
p.s. I'm new to the forum and really appreciate its existance. Found it while looking to buy my oud.

Oud lessons - Richmond, VA

Bandaz - 2-12-2008 at 06:30 PM

Hello,

I teach Oud. I am in Richmond, VA.

I began private music study on piano at the age of five, learned saxophone through the Henrico County school system, and began the study of Oud with my father at age 16. I continued my studies of Oud and Armenian music over the next 20 years with various teachers, John Bilezikjian, Dr. Ohanness Salibian, and Ara Dinkjian. I am is currently enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University studying Music Theory and Composition.

I am obsessed with studying Taksims and consider myself a student of Taksims for the rest of my life.

And I don't like new electric sounding Ouds. I am old school. I want to hear from an instrument much older and wiser than me.

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Thank you.

GuhlMustafa - 3-18-2008 at 03:48 PM

I have a question about strange difficulties.

I live in North Carolina, in the Triangle area, where there is a pretty large Turkish community. I've met many excellent musicians, including some very excellent oud players. I've also worked with baglama players and have played oud and baglama with some local ensembles- but I cannot get anyone to give me real lessons. I have the dedication, and would certainly make the effort (and pay!), but it seems that either people don't want to teach at all, or they just want to hang out. I don't understand- is there something wrong with my approach?

Instead of having a teacher, unless someone knows anyone in North Carolina, how can I work on my skills? There are a lot of exercises and information online, but where do I begin? How do I make the most of my time while I'm doing this on my own?

Guhl

Brian Prunka - 3-18-2008 at 05:45 PM

Hey Jeremy, I sometimes make it out to New London . . . I haven't been up there since december but I'll definitely make it up sometime this spring/summer. I'd be happy to meet up with you when I do. U2U me your email address or phone # so I can contact you if you're interested.

Brian

and Guhl, your best bet is probably to try to hang out as much as you can and see if you can convince people to teach you a few songs . . . If you can attend some gatherings with an audio recorder, go back and learn the songs that everyone seems to know, that way you can play along next time.
if you're interested in Turkish style, you can contact Mavrothis here and take lessons via ichat/skype, he's an excellent player and teacher and I'm sure you'd find it helpful.

Oregon

OudandTabla - 3-19-2008 at 08:20 AM

Hi everyone,

I teach Oud in Eugene Oregon. I have been studying Oud for 9 years. I started with Maurice Rouman in Seattle, and when I moved to Eugene studied Maqamat with Ishmael (a kanun player) for several years. I have been playing professionally with Ala Nar since 2003. This is the website of my school.

GuhlMustafa - 3-20-2008 at 08:25 PM

Brian,

Yes I have spoken with Mavrothis, and we'll be getting started as soon as my computer is all set for it...

That's a good idea about the recording. Funny thing about the Turks here is that they never seem to know what a song is called, or they'll call it by an entire phrase or the entire "chorus" of the tune. However, after a SERIOUSLY LONG time I've been able to figure out one song from another to some degree. It's a big reach from western ground, and this ain't no 12- bar blues. But, what I am coming back to these days (thankfully) is that the love of the music is all about the process, and not the results. So long as I just keep playing and not worry so much about cataloging and categorizing every great tune I hear, I guess I'll be ok.

We're lucky to have these traditions, and we're lucky to have the oud. That's definitely worth something just by itself...
