How to navigate levers in Arabic and Turkish qanuns

[@matthiaskhkh2218]

Finally, here is a tutor who explains WHICH levers should be up and which down for 'dummy' amateur players. All other tutors explained everything other than this core 🙃

hey welcome to my world! everything I do is detailed so there is no guessing involved. unfortunately learning arabic music is based on copying someone and a lengthy process of trail and error. I suffered from that myself which is why I am passionate about creating systems that anyone can follow without guessing involved:) glad you found this helpful :)

Thank you

Hi Maya, you mention @ 10:48 the qanun is tuned to C Major. I understand you are referring to Turkish notation correct ? otherwise it's G Major for the rest of us.

I am a biginer i have a turkish 4 chamber 27 notes kanun.so should i wind my first note as RE.. or its wrong? Some body say should start first note by La..pls guide me.thanks

What do the "s" and "t" mean in the diagram showing the Turkish instrument, between the lever numbers and the note names? Thanks.

[@mayaral.5977]

Hi Maya, could you please define what the "T" stands for on the tuning chart that you showed ? I can see a T next to the Sol for example. Do you have 8 levers on your Sol ? I happen to have 10.. I put 5 down and 5 up.. I'm not sure it's the way to do it..

Hi Maya ! Do you teach people online through personal, one on one sessions ?

[@MayaYoussefMusic]

Hey Mayar, i just responded to your email but responding here as well. I teach an online group academy and 1:1 via my VIP mentorship where I work with 3 people each year. Both are by application to make sure we are a fit. You can apply here aiqg9lk3vbi.typeform.com/to/QkSpKnkC Would love to hear from you 🙏🏼

I'm building a mini 12 course Kanun without 'urab. Maybe next build I'll import levers from Turkey.

[@MayaYoussefMusic]

ah in which case you will have to do it the old way and tune each octave to a different maqam. its a lot of work so if you can, I would recommend adding levers:)
