What People Are Saying
🌟 Layla A. (Music Student, 23 years old)
“I honestly didn’t expect to fall in love with the Oud the way I did. The class was super welcoming, even for a beginner like me. Maxeem has this way of making everyone feel like they belong — his teaching style is patient, soulful, and really clear. I walked in not knowing how to hold the instrument and walked out playing a full melody! Can’t wait for the next session.”
🌟 Samir K. (Music Student, 34 years old)
“I’ve been playing guitar for years but always admired the sound of the Oud. This class was the perfect introduction. Maxeem doesn’t just teach notes — he teaches feeling. The environment was relaxed, the people were lovely, and I left feeling spiritually uplifted. Highly recommend for anyone looking to reconnect with their cultural roots or explore something new.”
🌟 Nour H. (High School Teacher, 31 years old)
“This class was a breath of fresh air! From the moment we started, I felt immersed in something ancient and beautiful. The rhythm, the stories, the way Maxeem explained the history behind the maqams — it was honestly magical. I came for music and left with inspiration. Everyone should experience this at least once.”
