About Me
I began my musical journey at the age of 7, starting with the Santoor, and have remained on this path ever since. I have consistently endeavored and will continue to do so, to both learn and teach Persian music, an integral part of our country's culture. It brings me great joy to act as a bridge, carrying the sound of Persian music beyond the borders of our homeland. I find happiness in guiding individuals from this region, step by step, as we form a chain together, taking small but impactful steps to preserve this rich culture.
Teaching Method
For those without prior musical knowledge, initial sessions will cover essential theoretical foundations. Beginner instruction follows the style of Mr. Pashang Kamkar's dulcimer playing and Mr. Payvar's dulcimer guidance. Tailoring to individual strengths, weaknesses, and student interests, the advanced section delves into complex techniques and diverse musical pieces.
