Oud

Languages of instruction: German, English, Arabic

The traditional Arabic ensemble, also known as takht, consists of four main melody instruments: Oud, nay, kanun and violin and one main percussion instrument: the riq. The oud is a short-necked lute from the Middle East. The origins of the instrument are thought to date back to the year 868. In Europe, the instrument is best known for the lute developed on it in the 16th century, which became popular with troubadours, trouveres and travelling musicians. As with most instruments from the lute family, the player produces the sound by plucking the strings.

Are you interested in Arabic culture and want to learn the oud? Then you are very welcome at our music school in Leipzig. Our experienced Oud teacher takes you into the special sound world of this plucked string instrument, gives you the necessary technical instructions and plays the pieces you want together with you.
You can gain initial experience in the free and non-binding Trial lesson collect.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do you offer oud lessons for children?

    Whether young or old: you are welcome here. Children and young people learn intuitively and playfully, which is why we emphasise the joy of experimentation and discovery. Even in the first few lessons, children of all ages can learn to play simple songs on the oud. A quick sense of achievement is guaranteed!

    Our professional teachers are all trained in music education and incorporate technique and theory into the lessons in a child-orientated and didactically sensible way.

    You can start directly if your child has already chosen an instrument or already has previous knowledge. If your child is still unsure which instrument is best, we recommend attending the Instrument carousels.

  • Are there oud lessons for adults?

    Did you learn to play the oud as a child and stopped at some point? Then we will be happy to help you start oud lessons again! No matter whether you want to learn a specific piece on the oud or simply fulfil your long-awaited dream of playing the oud: We offer personalised oud lessons that are tailored to you and your musical goals.

    If, for professional or family reasons, you would prefer to come to lessons at longer intervals rather than weekly, we also have a solution for this: Our Prepaid cards. Talk to your teacher or ask our friendly colleagues in the office for more information.

    We also offer our oud lessons online so that you can pursue your hobby from the comfort of your own home. We are flexible and customise our offer to suit your individual needs.
