Lessons from a UCLA Professor Dr. Munir N. Beken in Los Angeles


Dear members of the forum,

I am very excited to let you know that I have an opening in my schedule and I will be accepting new students. I am located in Westwood.

We are also considering to start weekly rehearsals in Westwood with a new mixed Turkish music ensemble. I do not want to interfere with any of the already existing groups. Please let me know if there are similar groups in the area, so I would schedule our rehearsals on a different day. Please let me know if you are interested :)

With all the best,

Münir Nurettin Beken

Merhaba Ustad Münir,

Although I have no immediate plans to visit Los Angeles (I live in Northern CA), I do hope to be visiting LA sometime in the next year or so.

Do teach single lessons?

I am an intermediate level oud player with a mixed Arabic/Turkish style (Arabic "C" tuning). I read music (more comfortable with Arabic/"concert"-pitch notation) and a basic knowledge of Maqam/Makam theory.

Teşekkür Ederim,
John Erlich

Thanks guys,

It is good to see some familiar faces (well, names) here. I am new here. Please give me some guidance. It seems I will have to do some exploring of my own as well. I also have to figure out the smilies too. :)

Hi Munir,

It is great to see you here on the forums and branching out to new students. I was just talking about you with some friends of mine. Basically, most anything I do right on the oud I owe to your guidance and example.

:bowdown:

Hope to see you again soon. :)

Take care,

Mavrothi

Dear Mavrothi,

Very kind of you to say such nice things but it is nothing to do with me. It is only because of the fire in you and the torch you carry :) It is good to hear from you. Love to the family.

Thanks, Münir! I will contact you...

By the way, Eric Ederer is a friend of mine. Did you ever participate in his dissertation research as a performer?

All the best,
John
