Steven
Even for an advanced player coming out of the prestigious Arab Oud House in Cairo, Egypt—under the legendary lineage of Naseer Shamma—the search for absolute perfection never stops. Steven, a remarkably gifted Egyptian oud player, already carried the rich tradition of his cultural heritage. Yet, seeking an even higher level of technical precision and notation clarity, he chose to join the School of Oud Online to continue his high-level refinement.
At the School of Oud Online, Steven immersed himself in RAMY’s 7-Layer Sheet Music System, discovering a level of detailed accuracy and structural depth that surpassed normal instruction. Combining his solid foundation from Cairo with Ramy Adly’s precision-driven methodology, Steven honed his pick technique, sight-reading, and execution to an extraordinary standard.
Steven’s dedication culminated in successfully completing the Distinctive Program (Level 7) at the School of Oud Online. As a proud Egyptian musician, his flawless technique and deep cultural fluency position him to become a true ambassador for Egyptian music on the world stage. Steven’s story demonstrates that even graduates of traditional conservatories find their ultimate precision and mastery when their craft is elevated by the School of Oud Online.
