"I've been singing in Middle Eastern traditions for 30 years. For so long, I’d watch the qanun player in my ensemble and think, 'I want to do that, but it looks so hard.'
Then, on my 60th birthday, I finally got a qanun. I tried lessons, but I wasn’t improving.
Before joining Qanun Mastery Academy, I lacked an organized method. This program, worth its weight in rubies and gold, has given me exactly that – a structured, systematic way to learn and play.
Maya’s incredible support, generosity, and genuine love as a teacher shine through in every session. Each week, we come together as a community of qanunists at various stages. This is the most supportive, welcoming musical community on the planet!
Maya’s presence is so real that it feels as if she’s right there in your living room. Her feedback is always attentive, encouraging, and with no judgment; mistakes are welcomed as an essential part of learning.
This program is the ultimate way to learn qanun at any level, with materials covering everything from plucking basics to maqam and a song vault—all accessible anytime. Maya’s invaluable resources go beyond Q&As, always at your fingertips.
Joining Qanun Mastery Academy has been a truly positive, amazing experience. I started 5 years ago thinking I'd do it for six months, and now, I can’t imagine life without Maya and our weekly sessions."
