Me as a Teacher

I am a professional Setar player, composer, and educator with more than ten years of teaching experience, offering lessons for students of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced performers. I have taught for over eight years at Aref Music Academy under the direction of Masters Hamid Reza Noorbakhsh and Behdad Babaei in Tehran, as well as five years at Maktab-e Shahnazi Academy, managed by Master Dariush Pirniakan.
My approach combines solid technical training with an in-depth understanding of Persian music traditions, ensuring each student develops a strong foundation in both technique and artistry. Lessons are carefully structured based on each student’s progress, with a focus on proper posture, technical precision, repertoire, and the stylistic ornamentation that defines the Setar’s unique voice.

Lessons are offered in person in Stockholm and online for students worldwide. Classes are available in English and Persian.
