I’ve taken the Persian Ney course and it exceeded my expectations.
The structure of the lessons is very clear and practical. It doesn’t just stay theoretical—you immediately work on sound production, breathing, and fingering in a way that actually improves your playing. The progression from basic techniques to more advanced concepts like articulation and musical expression is well thought out.
What stands out most is how personalized the learning feels. The feedback is direct and useful, and the lessons are adapted to your level, whether you’re a beginner or already have experience.
This course is not just about learning notes—it builds a real understanding of the instrument and Persian musical style. I would strongly recommend it to anyone serious about learning the Ney properly.
