Ziad Helou

I am an experienced Lebanese musician and teacher specializing in Oriental Oud, singing, and solfege, with over ten years of experience. I studied at the Lebanese National Conservatory, where I developed a deep foundation in both performance and music theory. I previously taught at Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon, and have also offered private lessons to students of all levels. Additionally, I served as a concertmaster for more than five years with the oriental orchestra "Loubnan Assalam," which enriched my experience in both solo and ensemble performance.

After relocating to Germany to pursue further studies, I continue to share my passion for Oriental music with students of all ages and skill levels. I teach in English, French, and Arabic and offer both in-person and online lessons. I believe that music is a journey, and I enjoy helping my students develop a strong foundation that enables them to express themselves confidently through music.

My approach to teaching is tailored to each student’s goals and learning pace. I prioritize a solid understanding of music theory and solfege to establish a strong foundation. With Oud students, I focus first on musical notes and notation before moving into repertoire. For students interested in singing, I incorporate Oriental scales and solfege exercises to build vocal strength and versatility. My classes are interactive and I often play duets with students to reinforce learning through real-time practice.

I am a supportive and patient teacher who adapts to different learning styles. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced musician, I work with you to set achievable goals and build confidence in your abilities. Dedication and passion are key, and I guide my students to find joy and fulfillment in their musical journey.
