Hello! I offer lessons in musical composition (classical/contemporary style), music theory (harmony, counterpoint, form,) and orchestration. I also teach Kurdish and Arabic music theory. My teaching style emphasizes creative engagement of students in lessons and a stimulating approach with a plenty of examples and playing. I carefully plan lessons to make them appropriate for the needs and style of each student while teaching them all the skills they need and encouraging them to experiment with new possibilities that can enrich their music.

Welcome! I am pleased to offer lessons in composition (western/contemporary classical style), music theory (harmony, counterpoint, formwork) and orchestral arrangement. I also teach the principles of Arabic music theory (maqamat, templates.) My method of teaching emphasizes the creative participation of students in the lessons and a stimulating style of teaching that includes many practical examples and play. I plan each lesson carefully to match the student's needs and musical personality while at the same time teaching the students all the skills they need as musicians and encouraging them to try new things that can enrich their music.
