Hi ! I Am Maya

I am a qanun and maqam mentor who is passionate about mentoring adult Arabic music enthusiasts of all levels on their qanun journey.

I am dedicated to guiding and encouraging my students with a structured, accessible fun method so they can confidently play their favorite tunes, recognize maqam by ear and express their innermost feelings with a taqsim.

Over 30+ years, I have taught qanun and maqam in universities in Oman and the UK and helped 100s of my students whether early beginners, casual enthusiasts, or advanced learners fulfill their qanun dreams in a fraction of the time it takes by traditional methods and while learning online from the comfort of their homes.

As a performer and a composer, I have done it all. Performing and selling out the world’s top venues, receiving awards and accolades for my work.

Born in Syria, I spent most of my life there, receiving classical training and immersing myself in the rich musical heritage. Now based in London, I'm fortunate to share that cultural wealth with my students.

You can't really learn to play an instrument just by reading theory or using qanun books that don't show you how to play the music sheets inside.

I had to show qanun lovers how to start from scratch and how to get to an intermediate level.

And the results were amazing!I know you would want that for yourself.

Here's how it works.

1. No prior music knowledge is required.

This course is built on teaching qanun the organic way. The way pillars of Arabic music like Sabah Fakhri and Umm Kulthum learned Arabic music .Scores are included but are optional.

2. I am all about learning by experience.

The Qanun Kickstarter bundle gives step by step to play 7 famous iconic songs by following my 3 steps formula …

3. No prior music knowledge required.

All you need is the qanun and the tutorials to get started.

4. Ornamentation in Arabic music is not optional.

it is an absolute must! Ornamentation Bootcamp gives you the overview of how to create a rich authentic sound. It also empowers you with knowing the biggest mistakes to avoid in your playing. Finally it gives you the tools to start to develop your own unique sound so you don’t sound like a copycat. 

Since 2019, I have helped 100s of my students FINALLY play their favorite tunes, recognize maqam by ear and play an authentic taqsim that expresses their innermost feelings and wows their audience. 

And in this bundle, I will give you everything you need to start with qanun and take your playing to an intermediate level.

The current way of learn Qanun is broken!

Here is why. Most people start their qanun journey starting with the wrong steps! They tend to:

Learn music theory first
Play boring scales for months and months
Buy a bunch of complex maqam books

But the problem with this approach is that it simply doesn’t work for a simple reason:
You don’t need to know maqam or music theory or play boring scales for months!

What you actually need is to PLAY songs from the get go and learn by experience.

So focusing on the wrong things in the early stages of your qanun journey wastes YEARS of your precious time which you can’t afford to lose!

 is that you can:
  • Make music with the qanun in 90 minutes.
  • Understand how to embellish and create an authentic rich sound ….within days.
