Oud, Traditional and Popular (Rebetiko) Greek Music, Eastern Music and Modal Theory
course price icon
From 28 £ /h
arrow icon
I teach oud and other traditional Eastern and Greek music instruments (lavta, guitar in traditional and popular music), as well as Eastern modal music theory, providing a holistic structure for the comprehension of various popular and traditional music idioms of Greece and Eastern Mediterranean cultures.

Singing plays a central role in my teaching method, approaching ornamentation, intonation and personal expression through the use of voice as an instrument, not in order to become a "singer", but to create a personal relationship with the music material and the qualities of sound.

Theory is approached through a plethora of experimental exercises, considering specified intonation and modality of each music style in a general and solid structure.

About Me
I like exploring the qualities of sound.
Lying between the harmonics.
I like slow and patient practice.
I believe in the ability of somebody to develop through using the mind, the logic, as well as the emotional comprehension.
I like singing as the portal to experience Eastern modal music's richness and detail.
I try to build a personalized method depending on the dynamic of each person, as well as the relationship.

The class is about music enthouziasts. In this class we will attempt to teach you every technique available on a bass guitar, but most importantly, your role as a bass player inside a band. You will learn what you should empasize in a song and What you should do and what you should not do.

Bass guitar plays a fundamental role in every aspect of music. It is an easy at start instrument. But in order to be a good bassist, you need not only the technical knowledge of the instrument, but also an advanced understanding of music theory. Bass guitar players play a specific role in a band.

This class is also about understanding the music theory, how does it work and what represents. It will help you understand the inner thoughts of a composer as he creates a music piece. And in the end, how you could compose your own music.
