Hi everybody,
I just wanted to take a moment to pass on a recommendation for a good teacher in the Jeddah area for anyone who might be looking, since it's one of
the harder locales to hear about a good teacher:
Ali al-Hasiny
(966) 054694221
He's Syrian; he's available for intensive classes, and also teaches vocals. I had a much harder time finding a teacher as a female learner, and he was
very accommodating with me. He doesn't speak English, so music lessons double as Arabic practice, which is very helpful for learning all the proper
terms. His wife also makes a very good cup of Turkish coffee
. He has a music shop
off Sari St. (look for Marhaba supermarket. It's just after that on the right). If you don't speak Arabic, don't worry; his wife used to be an English
teacher, and I know he's had an English-speaking student in the past. They are very good people.
