Vocal coaching develops a strong singing voice while boosting self-confidence, clarity, and inner harmony. A good coach helps you discover your unique voice, encouraging risk-taking and individuality, which enhances performance confidence. Clarity comes from understanding vocal mechanics, improving breath control and diction, allowing for better emotional expression in music and daily communication. Achieving harmony involves aligning vocal expression with emotions, fostering inner peace and fulfilment.

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 work to regulate the nervous system and heal the mindset because when the inner self shifts, the voice follows. I use this comprehensive expertise to help you accurately discover and train your authentic vocal type, ensuring you are on the right path to finding your own unstoppable melody.
Early on, I was mistakenly classified as a mezzo-soprano, singing repertoire that never quite felt right. It was only through the dedication of two brilliant private Russian opera mentors—a Tenor and a Mezzo-Soprano—who saw past the initial misclassification and patiently taught me, that my true voice emerged. This pivotal experience forms the core of my teaching philosophy: a commitment to never letting a student be misdirected, and understanding that true vocal freedom begins in the mind and body. Whether your heart beats for the dramatic fire of Opera, the structured beauty of Classical repertoire, or the vibrant energy of Broadway, my approach is holistic.

منهج مبسط + تطبيق عملي + متابعة مستمرة لحد ما تعزف بثقة وتفهم الموسيقى بشكل حقيقي

لو حاولت تتعلم موسيقى قبل كده وما كملتش، فغالبًا المشكلة مكانتش فيك... كانت في الطريقة، لأن أغلب الطرق بتعتمد على الحفظ أو التقليد بدون فهم، وده بيخلي أي حد يقف بعد فترة ومش عارف يكمل. هنا الفكرة مختلفة، أنت مش بتتعلم تعزف وبس، أنت بتفهم كل خطوة بتعملها من البداية علشان تقدر تعتمد على نفسك وتتطور بشكل حقيقي.

الرحلة بتبدأ من تأسيس مضبوط ومدروس، مش مجرد تمارين عشوائية، وده بيشمل:

وضعية جسم صحيحة تساعدك تعزف براحة وتمنع أي إجهاد أو ألم مع الوقت
التعامل مع الآلة بشكل سليم من أول حصة علشان تتجنب الأخطاء الشائعة
توازن بين اليدين بشكل تدريجي يخليك تتحكم في الأداء بثبات
التحكم في حركة القوس بطريقة منظمة تخلي الصوت ثابت وواضح
إخراج صوت نقي بدون شد أو توتر، وده أساس أي عزف احترافي

كل نقطة بيتم شرحها بشكل عملي، مش نظري فقط، مع تطبيق مباشر أثناء الحصة، وتصحيح فوري لأي خطأ علشان تتعود من البداية على الطريقة الصح، وده بيوفر عليك وقت كبير جدًا في التعلم بعد كده.

بجانب العزف، في شغل مهم على الفهم الموسيقي، لأن العزف الحقيقي مش حركة إيد بس، لكنه فهم وإحساس، وده بيكون من خلال:

قراءة النوتة بشكل بسيط وواضح بدون تعقيد
فهم الإيقاع والـ علشان تعزف بثبات ومن غير لخبطة
ربط العين بالأذن بالإيد (تشوف – تسمع – تعزف في نفس الوقت)
تدريب الأذن الموسيقية علشان تميز بين النغمات وتعتمد على نفسك
فهم الجملة الموسيقية مش مجرد عزف نوت منفصلة

الطريقة هنا بتخليك تبقى فاهم أنت بتعمل إيه، وده مع الوقت بيفرق جدًا، لأنك هتقدر:

تعزف لوحدك بدون اعتماد مستمر على شرح
تقرأ أي نوتة وتفهمها بسرعة
تسمع الأخطاء وتصححها بنفسك
تتدرب بشكل صح من غير ما تضيع وقت في محاولات غلط
تحس بثقة وانت بتعزف بدل التوتر أو القلق

مفيش أسلوب واحد ينفع لكل الناس، علشان كده كل طالب بيتم التعامل معاه حسب مستواه وسرعته وهدفه، سواء:
مبتدئ وعايز يبدأ من الصفر بطريقة صحيحة
أو عنده أساس وعايز يقويه
أو بيعزف بس حاسس إن في ضعف في بعض النقاط
أو عايز يتطور بشكل احترافي ومنظم

كل حالة ليها طريقة شغل مختلفة علشان نوصل لأفضل نتيجة ممكنة.

الحصص بتكون في بيئة مريحة بدون ضغط، مع شرح هادئ وواضح، وتركيز على إنك تفهم وتطبق، مع متابعة مستمرة لمستواك وتحديد نقاط القوة والضعف علشان تفضل ماشي في تقدم واضح.

الهدف النهائي مش إنك تحفظ مقطوعات وخلاص، لكن إنك تبقى فاهم الموسيقى بشكل يخليك تتعامل مع أي قطعة بعد كده بثقة، وتوصل لمرحلة:

تعزف بثبات وتحكم
تفهم اللي بتقراه من النوتة
تتحكم في الصوت والإحساس
وتستمتع بالعزف فعلًا مش مجرد أداء لو عايز تبدأ صح من أول خطوة، أو تصلح أساسك وتوفر على نفسك وقت كبير من المحاولات، احجز حصتك وابدأ بطريقة مختلفة هتخليك تشوف نتيجة حقيقية في وقت أقصر. 🔥
