Why Listen To Me?

I have a 100% taqasim success rate amongst my students including those who had zero music training...in as little as few months!

All my teaching methods incorporate lessons I have learned and frustrations I have overcome over my 30+ years musical journey. I helped 100s of Arabic music enthusiasts go from zero to taqsim without any boring theory or giving up years spent in conservatoires or traditional methods. 

Born in Syria, where I was classically trained, I spent most of my life there immersing myself in the rich musical heritage. Now based in London, I love sharing that cultural wealth with my students and helping them play the dream taqsim.
