About George
I am a professional Oud player, composer, and instructor, graduated from the prestigious Arabic Oud House in Cairo under the supervision of the renowned Oud master Naseer Shamma.
My musical journey is devoted to exploring the depth and beauty of Arab music and sharing it through performance, composition, and structured teaching. I combine authentic classical foundations with a modern pedagogical approach, helping students understand not only how to play the Oud, but how to truly feel and express its musical language.

Professional Oud Teacher – Arab Maqams & Classical Melodies
I am a passionate Oud player and instructor dedicated to sharing the beauty and depth of Arab music with students from all backgrounds, especially non-Arab learners who wish to understand the authentic maqam tradition.
My lessons focus on the Arab maqams, helping students grasp their character, emotional colors, and classical repertoire, while also integrating modern technical approaches that I mastered at the Arab Oud House in Cairo.
Each lesson is carefully structured according to the student’s level. We work step by step on:
– Proper Oud technique and hand positioning
– Understanding maqam structure and modulation
– Rhythm and traditional melodies
– Improvisation (taqasim) and ornamentation
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced musician, my goal is to help you build a strong foundation, develop musical confidence, and truly express yourself through the Oud.
What students can expect:
Personalized lessons tailored to your level and goals
Guidance on Arab maqams, scales, and rhythms
Classical melodies and repertoire, with optional modern adaptations
Practical exercises to develop technique, ear training, and improvisation skills
Friendly and encouraging environment for learning at your own pace
Languages: English, Arabic (native)
Feel free to book your first lesson and start your journey into the world of the Oud

I had the privilege of studying under Professor George, and I can say he is truly exceptional. Beyond his rich musical background, he is an outstanding tutor—remarkably patient and always eager to share the finest tips and tricks in both music theory and practical techniques.
As a talented composer himself, he offers a unique perspective that benefits students at any level. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, you will undoubtedly learn a lot and improve remarkably under his guidance.He can teach the oud with professionalism and skill. He is also an expert in various oud playing techniques, and he provides students with a solid methodological foundation for learning the instrument. He follows up with them through progressive, level-based exercises to help them achieve the highest quality in the shortest possible time.
He explains everything very clearly, pays close attention to details, and is very patient and friendly
Great music instructor. I totally recommend George for oud players eager to take their skills to the next level.
