I took a 8 lessons blok, they were sent my mail - sheet music + midi file (got 4 by now).

First two lessons were "easy" but the third & forth are exelent for those who realy want to improve the technique of playing.

When I play quick pieces, I miss several notes & exelerate without reason, sound tense.
I think Mr. Salem's lessons can fix it - after the 3 lesson I started to feel improvement - I did the exercise for a couple od days (hm, a lot ot times ;-).

I am very satisfied with this internet solution.

I sent with Western Union - and did not have any problems. I first talked to him by e-mail and he gave the address where to send the payment. I a day or two I received the first lesson.

Just name & address.
And city as well. I think I did not have the city name, so I had to check on the net again, but no ID numbers.

Hi,

I took several lessons with him as well, no problems with transferring funds via WU.

I can get you information about him if you like, as I'm in touch with him.

Very nice gentleman, excellent artist.

I'm attaching a recent article.

My own personal experience with Salem Abdul Karem was very unpleasant. I took a couple of lessons long time ago from Mr. Abdul Karem. After a couple of lessons I stopped after a huge dissappointment in the very expensive oud he sold me. The oud was nothing more than an old piece of abused wood he dumped on me...It was an old oud full of cracks; Completely horrible condition for the sound board. It's being rebuilt currently in the hands of a local oud luthier. I paid so much for it that I didn't have the heart to burn it...:rolleyes:
