  • In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of the art of oriental rhythms, including techniques such as Maqsum, Malfuf, Sama’i Thaqil, Baladi, and Karatchi.  
  • The workshop will be conducted in Arabic, German, and English.
  • If you don’t yet have an instrument or are unsure which one you’d like to play, we will provide some instruments for you to use during the workshop.
  • We will explore and play a variety of rhythmic instruments such as the Darbuka, Riq, Daf, and Cajon.
  • At the end of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to take part in an optional musical performance in collaboration with our Oud instrument students, allowing you to showcase your skills and what you’ve learned.
