Ramy Adly School of Oud Online is a U.S.-based school founded by world-class Egyptian-American Oud virtuoso Ramy Adly, where participants are at the center of everything we do.
We believe music should enrich your life and feedback should guide—not judge; everyone continues to learn and practice, including Ramy Adly himself.
From complete beginners with no Oud experience or ability to read sheet music to experienced players advancing their technique, our participants include busy professionals—doctors, pilots, and people simply looking to enrich their lives—dedicating just 1–2 hours a week to progress, cultural connection, and the joy of music.
Whether you begin the Oud, you don’t have an Oud yet, you want to improve your technique, develop your ear, become a soloist representing your culture, or simply play confidently for yourself and your family, our 9-Level Certificate Program, specialized Maqam Programs, and Ear Training modules provide a clear, interactive path with personalized feedback from Ramy Adly and opportunities to learn alongside peers worldwide.
Powered by Ramy Adly’s EdTech Teaching Method™ and RAMY’s 7-Layer Sheet Music™, our exclusive participant curriculum is designed to eliminate years of trial and error through structured, immersive education and measurable progress, supported by a global team serving participants across 40+ countries.
