THE IDEA
Arab House was not just a hollow idea, nor was it just a desire to establish a school that might have dozens more.
I was a student at the Institute of Phonological Studies when my students and colleagues found me overloaded with a large number of lessons every day that might help us in many aspects but in another way that reduces the possibilities of achieving our talents in a remarkable and decent manner.
I saw the day moving quickly and I review the theoretical lessons and do not remain in front of me for practical lessons only a little time I try to steal from the times of Rahti.
I then thought about what could hurt us as students if we went all out of our talents and desire to achieve ourselves in a particular field, such as that we specialize in one side of the Oud and in my case was in the study of different technology of the Oud is my first goal.
After graduating from the Institute of Phonetic Studies in Baghdad and during my work in teaching in the same period in which I was studying, I began to understand the idea that the student will specialize in the whole machine in which he loves in such a way that the theories of music are intertwined in playing the oud, Can be called Oud knowledge through the possession of the techniques of playing and different schools on the oud so that the student can create a methodology for research according to his vision and help him to search in books and not to rely on pre-prepared and prepared any development of the development and discovery inside and outside the soul in which theoretical lessons From The dimensions applied lessons, and not vice versa
The large number of theoretical lessons was a barrier between many students and the possibility of achieving their projects in owning the corner of the machine, but some students of the music lovers found themselves and moved away little by little and accused their dreams.
The House project is to create and achieve the dream with all the necessary science to become an ambitious student project for a soloist.
