About Me

Growing up in a music-oriented family, I began learning the guitar at the age of 9. Over the past decade, I have been teaching pop guitar, encompassing nylon and acoustic guitar styles. As my musical responsibilities expanded to include composition and performance, I delved into the ukulele. Being among the pioneers of ukulele instruction in my country, I composed and released a song featuring the ukulele ("Moonlight Lullaby" with Taher Qureshi's vocals). For over 6 years, I have been instructing the ukulele, and my passion for this instrument continues to grow. Presently, I am initiating numerous collaborations with vocalists and instrumentalists from various countries, all centered around the ukulele.

Teaching Method

I firmly believe that the teaching approach should be tailored to the student's age and musical background. For ukulele instruction, the initial focus lies on grasping rhythm and singing alongside the instrument. Subsequently, the curriculum progresses to encompass playing melodies, reading notation, and understanding music theory in a straightforward manner, utilizing materials I have authored and compiled, as well as referencing Hal Leonard's book—a valuable resource for the ukulele. Likewise, for guitar instruction, I have developed and organized instructional materials alongside referencing books from Oxford and Hal Leonard, which have yielded excellent results throughout my years of teaching.
