Daftarcheh-ye Tanbur (The Tanbur Notebook) – Hamzeh Taheri

Daftarcheh-ye Tanbur (“The Tanbur Notebook”) is a tanbur course compiled by Hamzeh Taheri. In its own words it is “a collection of supporting teaching material, not a self-study course”; its aim is to give tanbur students and enthusiasts a nearly complete resource, with most of the material taught in courses and classes presented in a coherent, orderly way.

The first part of the notebook comes in forty lessons: five on theory, ten introductory exercises, twenty-one songs (tasnif) and four figurative maqams. Notes and files for the lessons are available on the Daftarcheh-ye Tanbur Telegram channel (t.me/tanbourlearning).
