Persian Oud Method Book - Any Reviews?
Hi Fellow Udis,
Does anyone own a copy of this Persian oud method book? Does it contain a substantial section of song sheets?

Thanks,

I ordered the book a couple days ago. I had to phone them; their web site was not working. I will post a review and a sample when it arrives.
Best,
"Udi" John

The book arrived yesterday. I was unable to order through their web page (error message each time), and had to call the store in Los Angeles to make
the order. It's a pretty slim book, and seems oriented toward beginners. I am posting a couple of samples. I appreciate the exercises, which
reflect a musical style quite different from either Arabic or Turkish music. I don't read Farsi.

From what i can understand, it says that it's kurdish popular music pieces from Kermansha.
It shares with other music from Iran the maqams base. The most important instrument of this area is the tanbur. In those examples you have to play
"dorab" on the sign with double stroke and "eshare" where there's the small 0.
Dorab is two or three fast stroke played before the main beat.
Eshare is very close to çarpma in turkish. Usally one plays the note above the one written.( like a hammer on)

Yes Omoumi is a PRICK !!! he is so arrogant that even if 80% of the collective class is English speakers he will still only speak Persian, even though
he now teaches at a university in California.
class is ok as basic theory and practice with some songs... There is a much better book Dastgah system which is an academic book. Covers the same, but
also uses different lines of study of the theoretical approach to dastgah including the approach on inter dastgah modulation which Omumi uses as the
foundation of his teachings.
