🎵 Performance Requirement
To qualify for your certificate:
After 3 months of practice, you’ll need to perform one piece of music that you’ve learned during the program.
For our students and experienced oud players at this stage—whether performing on stage or playing as a hobby at home—they’ve reached a point where they’ve put in many hours of training, received coaching, listened to feedback on their practice, and studied case studies through etudes and compositions.
No matter your profession, musical background, or talent—by practicing the same methods we’ve taught to today’s best oud players at the School of Oud Online—you can gain the skills to play any song you want, perform on stage if you choose, and even join our growing team of instructors to teach these methods yourself.
Learning the oud—its fundamentals, skills, and etudes—can lead you to play any song and reach any level you wish.
Oud education and the skills you need to succeed—whether it’s for performing on stage, playing for your family, personal growth, meditation, composing, or even making the oud your career. To reach these goals, you’ll need to build the following skills and foundations:
Music Foundations for Mastering the Oud
Technique
It’s the expression—the grammar of music—the way of pronouncing and explaining a composition to truly express yourself. This takes time and dedicated modules to build. Technique is what sets one player apart from another: how fast, how precise, and how full their playing is. It also shows in the dynamics—like the difference between downstrokes, upstrokes, or freestyle picking and striking.
Sheet Music
Reading music is a complete skill. Even if you’re not an oud player, it’s important to learn how music is written—it’s the written language of music. Whether you’re young or old, advanced or just starting out, learning to read sheet music should happen at the right time during your journey. Sadly, sheet music is often neglected, but it’s essential.
Playing by ear
It’s another skill—completely separate but just as important as reading sheet music. For any musician aiming for the best quality training, ear training is essential. Even after years of reading and writing music, you still need to develop your ears, strengthen your musical memory, and be able to play without relying on sheet music.
Music Theory
This is the math of music—where numbers and intervals come together to form the foundation of music education. It includes the Circle of Fourths, sharps and flats, the spaces between notes, and harmony. All of it is connected, and it plays a key role in understanding how music works.
The Maqam
The Maqam system is the framework that shows you which notes to play—and which ones not to. With hundreds of mixed messages out there about the Maqam system, it’s important to focus on one clear, simple angle to truly learn and understand it.
Oud Literacy
There are specific techniques needed for playing the oud—such as down-ups, Fardash, butterfly techniques, rhythmic picking patterns like UDDU, UUDU, and UDU, hanging strings, and more. These techniques are essential to master the oud and express the music fully.
As Ramy Adly says:
“Technique is what brings your sound to life. It’s how you turn a simple note into music that moves people.”
How do you develop these skills on the oud?
1 – Studying in the Online Certificate Program at the School of Oud Online
- Learn at Your Own Pace
We usually follow the practices on our materials with this methodology
How to Develop These Skills on the Oud
1.Practice in layers – Start with the basics: how to hold the oud, tune it properly, and feel confident with down and up strokes.
2.Practice weekly – Even just one hour a week can make a fantastic difference over time and help you reach real results.
3.Do it wrong first – There’s no “perfect” in music, only progress. At the School of Oud Online, we follow the 4Ts Method: Time, Technique, Tunes, and Tempo. Focus on one technique at a time—like Fardash, butterfly, or rhythmic patterns—until it becomes natural.
4.Use a slow tempo – Start slow, then gradually increase speed as your accuracy improves.
5.Follow a clear method – Use a proven curriculum, like the one at School of Oud Online, to build your skills step by step.
6.Get feedback – ASK A LOT. Ask your instructor always to give weekly corrections to keep you on track.
7.Always move forward – We don’t repeat the same session or stay stuck on one etude. Each time, you learn something new. That’s what sharpens your hand and builds real progress.

One of the greatest romantic scene in Aladdin when the beautiful prances hold Aladdin at his house and said “actually, I have Instrument like that I got from my mother.”

How to play the Oud?
This page contains tips on the best and healthiest ways to get the best out of the Oud.
For those who practicing or performing on stage. Improve your skill set from these useful tips, I recommended for our students:
The perfect way to practice playing the Oud is to assume a straight sitting position on an armless chair with a straight backrest.
While playing on the Oud, be sure to use the foot stool. Do not practice for more than three hours at a stretch without using the foot stool to keep your back posture straight.
RIGHT POSITION FOR PLAYING THE OUD:
Place your left leg slightly behind the line of the heels of your right foot. You should always maintain this position while playing on stage with your right hand holding the Oud. The left hand has nothing to do with keeping the Oud straight. Rather, the Oud should be held with the right hand only.
This is a poor posture for handling the Oud. If you are seated wrongly and not straight while playing the Oud, you will feel uncomfortable and your hand will not be appropriately positioned relative to the fingerboard.
Note from the picture shown above that, the right foot is placed on a foot stool. If your right leg is not placed that way, you will lose balance while playing on the Oud.
How to hold the neck of the Oud?
You should compare holding the neck of the Oud to holding an apple with your left hand. You should hold the fingerboard in the following way.
With your thumb held straight, the tip of your fingers should play with the surface of the fingerboard, underneath the nails. It is very important to keep your left hand stretched forward on the fingerboard.
How to hold the pic of the Oud?
you should hold the pic in between your index and your thumb, the other three fingers has nothing to do with your Pic, we called it “Resha”
Hold the Resha as seen in the picture.
Practice in Front of A Mirror
Every Opera House I have been to for practice, has a mirror as a constant feature. This helps players to look at themselves in the mirror while they practice.
Practicing in front of a mirror helps you to have a glimpse of the positions of the left and right hands, how you are actually seating, and how the audience will see you during a performance. It also boosts your confidence by helping to overcome stage fright.
Parts of the Oud and what the instrument contains
• The Strings Base: This is the first part on the left side of the Oud model shown in this picture. The string base is made of wood to hold the strings from the bottom of the Oud. The strings Base is useful for holding the strings in position
• STRINGS: The conventional Ouds nowadays have 11 strings; five in unison and one a single string.
• THE BRIDGE: The second component on the left side of the Oud is the bridge. It is actually the part over which the strings pass to help vibrate the sounds vibrate the sounds by the strings or transmission to the sound box.
• SOUND HOLE: The third part is the sound hole; the sound hole of the Oud is to repress the sounds and project them out of the Oud box. This is what helps Bombay looking to produce the depth of their sounds.
• The Face of the Oud: A good Oud has a thin wooden face. By principle, the thinner the face of the Oud, the better the quality of the sound produced. The sound quality is measured by how delightful and open the sound is. Thus, it is very important for the Oud makers to be apply great care when designing the face of the Oud.
• The Neck or Fingerboard: The fingerboard is a fretless component of the Oud. As shown in the picture, there are no frets on the fingerboard. That is what makes the Oud an Oud. It is one major difference between the Oud and the Guitar. The reason for this is to enable the player produce a monochromatic range of sounds on an open frequency without any limitation.
How to tune the Oud instrument?
Egyptians, Syrians and other Arab countries tune the Oud from the top in the following order:
E – A – D – G – C – F.
The Iraqis usually tune the Oud differently from the top thus:
F – C – D – G – C – F.
The Turkish tune the Oud as follows:
C# – F# – B. – E – A – D
All students of School of Oud are taught to tune the Oud in the sequence below. It is the best sequence of tuning the Oud to cover more than 95% of the songs and compositions ever played on the Oud. This tuning is highly accurate and recommended for all regions including the Egyptian and Iraqi schools of Oud. Our students are advised to tune their Ouds using the following sequence:
F – A – D – G – C – F
