Tombak and Daf Classes
My teaching technique very much depends on two methods, one is the traditional form of heart-heart teaching (Sine-be-Sine) thus planting the seed of rhythm in the heart of students enabling them to sense and live a rhythmical life. The other etude is that of Ostad Rajabi and other various Tombak etudes and resources. There are private and group classes.
