Designed for all levels, this course will introduce you to the vast repertoire of classical Iranian singing, ranging from lyrical songs (17th to 20th centuries) to unrhythmic songs and modal improvisations (avaz).
By performing songs with simple rhythms while accompanying yourself on the Dayereh or Tombak, you will learn the coordination between voice and percussion, according to the traditional teaching method. This simultaneous learning will allow you to develop and improve both vocal techniques (voice placement, ornamentation and modulations specific to the repertoire) and instrumental techniques of Iranian percussion.
Born in Tehran, Hossein Rad was introduced to Persian singing at an early age by his father.
He then studied with masters such as Ali Bayani on setar, Djahanguir Mehparvaran on vocals, Farid Kheradmand and Djamchid Chemirani on dayereh and Tombak, and Hamid Khalatbari on kamantcheh. He also studied the techniques of western classical singing with Muriel Ferraro in Paris.
Since his arrival in Europe in 2005 and in parallel to his university studies, he has been involved in various musical projects and devotes a significant part of his time to teaching and transmitting the art of Iranian singing through regular courses, workshops and masterclasses.

Carnatic music is considered one of the most ancient music systems in the world. It is a learned music that is full of emotion and involves a lot of improvisation.
Pat la Gadji
This is an intense dance with a pronounced feminine character, which calls on participants to dare to stomp their feet, to frown, to shake the shoulders, twirl their skirts, sway their hips and express what pleases us.
