Tanbur Maqam Lessons with Sirous Karami

57 sessions, each one maqam at beginner, intermediate and regular level

57 sections · 171 lectures · 375 min

About this course

In 2016 and 2017, Sirous Karami recorded one tanbur maqam (a traditional melodic piece of the tanbur) every week in three video clips, for beginner, intermediate and regular levels, so that learners without access to a music school could learn the haqqani (sacred) maqams step by step. The sessions were published on the Telegram channels “Divan-e Pir-e Dowran” and “Khaneh-ye Tanbur” and on the channel “Navaye Tanbur”.

This course contains 57 sessions in the order they were published, from 28 October 2016 to 30 December 2017. Each session is one maqam with three tracks: track 1 for the beginner level, track 2 for the intermediate level and track 3 for the regular level. Each lesson says whether the maqam is a kalam (sacred Yarsan hymn) sung in a group or solo, and in which tuning it is played – the G tuning (kuk 7) or the F tuning (kuk 5). Where the site has a performance of the same maqam, the lesson links to it.
