Learning Music Theory with the Help of Popular Songs

من 131.86 SAR /س

The aim of this course is to understand how music theory works with the help of popular music.

By analyzing and deconstructing songs from a chosen repertoire, the student will gather an understanding of how functional western harmony works and will be able to apply this method on their own, which in turn will speed up the process of learning how to play songs. Optionally, the student might choose to focus on improvisation, composition, chord-scale theory or a particular genre.

معلومات إضافية

Preferably (but not required), the student has access to:
- music notation software (Finale, MuseScore, Sibelius etc.)
- music paper

من أنا؟

Hello!

I am an electric and upright bass player from Malta and I have spent the last 8 years playing music in different styles and situations. Collecting experiences directly from the bandstand has taught me a lot about the demands of the modern bass player, which is why I decided to create this course.

My teaching practice draws a lot from my personal experience as a student. I have had lots of lessons with tutors with proven track records and methods, but the fun part of studying music for me was always to find my own way of learning something, which is to teach it to myself. This led to a direct awareness of the processes that go into learning and it helped me to come up with step-by-step methods that go through each phase of the learning process in a systematic way.

It is my belief that the learning requirements for the aspiring A-list session musician are very different from those of the bassist who simply wants to meet up and jam with friends, and so it follows that the student should try have an idea of what he or she would like to get out of these lessons. I encourage the student to talk about these learning goals at the very start of the course in order to set a direction for the lessons. If, however, the student lacks a clear idea of what they want to learn, this is no problem at all, and we can adjust and tailor the lessons to one's needs as we go along.

Jawa (1996) a Syrian oud player, singer and composer.
I was born in Aleppo, and I grew up in Damascus, Syria. I started playing music at the age of eleven. I chose the Oud as my instrument because my father used to play it everyday at home when I was young. Gradually, I fell in love with it and now I feel an unlimited feeling of freedom while playing it. Graduated from Rotterdam Conservatory in 2021.

Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years.

My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies.

Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.

I offer beginner-friendly lessons that combine music theory and piano, so you don’t just learn how to play, you understand what you’re playing.
These lessons are designed for students starting from zero. We build everything step by step, connecting theory directly to the piano to make learning more natural and effective.
We will cover:
Piano basics (hand position, simple pieces, coordination)
Notes, rhythm, and reading music
Scales and basic chords
Playing simple songs while understanding how they work
My approach is simple: learn, apply, and enjoy the process. I keep lessons interactive and adapted to each student, especially for kids, so progress feels natural instead of overwhelming.
