Good questions, and well asked!
1) save up your money until you have enough to buy a decent oud. Trying to learn to play on a bad instrument is a discouraging experience. Also: If
and when it comes time to upgrade you can sell your decent oud for a good percentage of the price you paid. If your first oud is junk it has no resale
value.
2) Skype lessons work fine. A Skype lesson is as good as the teacher. A poor teacher will give a poor Skype lesson. A good one will teach you well
via Skype.
Video lessons are pre-packaged and do not respond to the student or interact, but the "right" video lesson *might* be right for you.
3) I don't agree that finding a teacher is unlikely. Where are you located? |
