In the lesson of the oud you will be taught basic techniques of the instrument through appropriate exercises, stylistic approach to songs as well as a specific sound according to the local traditions in which it is found. You will also be taught basic and more alternative repertoire of the instrument. Finally, particular attention will be paid to the role of the oud in large and smaller orchestras, both as a solo instrument and as an instrument accompanying other instruments. Along with all the above, there will be a detailed description-teaching of free and rhythmic improvisation with special emphasis on the analysis of the improvisations of great oudists of the past.
