To me there is never any right or wrong way to play an instrument. I know a lot of people here may disagree, but as long as the performer puts his
personality and emotions into the playing, it doesn't matter if it is the traditional way of playing or not.
The best way (for me) to practice Maqams is to listen to other players play Taqsim using them. I first tried to learn them simply by learning what
"notes" were used, but quickly realized that there is so much more to them. A maqam always has its own mood and feel that makes it what it is. I'm
sure you've alrady figured this out, but I just felt I needed to point that out for some reason. It is sort of Maqam theory 101, they are in no way
just "scales" in the western sense.
I'm rambling, it's late here and I'm bored. Hope everything is going well for you in the oud world.
