Saz Lessons Children - Adults Rotterdam
Music, the language of the soul has no age. I give individual saz kurzu to children and adults. The lessons are given in my studio in Rotterdam Kralingen.
Saz with long and short neck
The Saz lessons are given on Saz /Baglama)with short or long neck. You will learn how to tune the Saz.
Beginners
You'l learn how to hold the saz in a relaxed way, how to place the fingers on the strings. We play with plectrum or fingers. We start with simple songs and scales. Step by step you, or your child, will develop a good technique and you will be playing your first Turkish song in no time!
Saz for more Advanced
We pay attention to the development of your technique and you learn more about harmony, makam, improvisation, intervals, modes, ornaments and stylistic elements.
Flexible and affordable
Extra handy for more advanced students: the 5 or 10 Lesson Packs give you flexibility in your agenda. Lessons by appointment. You'll never forfeit a lesson.
Online Saz Classes
I also offer fun, motivating and complete online saz classes. Live feedback and personalized instructions.
