Oud teacher of Persian and Arabic Oud styles

🎵 1-on-1 Oud Coaching with Navid Goldrick

Go Beyond Lessons. Build Your Voice.

Whether you’re just picking up the oud or trying to break through to the next level, you’ve probably realized:
📌 Pre-recorded lessons can only take you so far.
📌 You’re stuck playing the same things, unsure how to move forward.
📌 There’s no one to tell you if you’re actually doing it right.

That’s where coaching comes in.

What is Oud Coaching?

This isn’t just a lesson. This is a personalized, ongoing relationship designed to help you grow as a musician.

As your coach, I’ll guide you with:
✅ A customized learning plan based on your level and goals
✅ Direct feedback on your playing—what’s working and what’s holding you back
✅ Practical strategies to improve your technique, improvisation, and musicality
✅ Accountability and support to keep you moving forward

“I had been looking for a new Oud teacher for some while before I came across Navid. I recommend him unreservedly. He immediately understood what I was looking for - a deeper entry into Taqasim - and is accompanying my learning masterfully. His manner is soulful, precise and warm, and each class is recorded and an excellent resource for between our meetings”
