About

I am a skilled music composer and teacher with over a decade of experience in arranging and creating musical pieces. I play various instruments like Lute, Oud, and Double bass and have a strong background in music theory. I’ve conducted orchestras, composed music for films and plays, and taught at the Higher Institute of Music in Damascus.

I have worked with many international music associations and held leadership positions such as the general director of music schools and the Damascus opera house. My passion extends to music therapy, in which I have also been formally trained and certified. I enjoy sharing my love for Arabic music and have performed concerts internationally.
