Experience it

Many ways to experience the special musical elements of the music of the Middle East

THE BOOK

Coming Soon

I am in the final stages of completing “An introduction to Playing the Double Bass as a Solo Instrument in Arabic Music”.
Please leave your email address for availability updates.

The Workshop

The Middle Eastern double bass workshop comes in many shapes and configurations: it can contain a lecture/demonstration, hands-on experience, discussion of the cultural issues or the musical differences between East and West, ensemble work, and more.

The explanation of the special musical elements of middle Eastern music like the “quarter tones” and how to execute it with the instrument can lead to greater understanding of our technique and knowledge of the instrument, and is always related to the basic common western methodologies of the instrument.
