This workshop is geared towards those who are able to read notes, and already know how to play a plucked string instrument (such as a guitar). You
will be gaining exposure to four maqaamaat,, all of which have Arab quarter tones and a sama’i. You will be provided with sheet music and a USB
drive with two recordings of the sama’i that you can practice along to. Youth are welcome, but need to be advanced musicians.
