Music Lessons
Our part-time music teacher, Mr. Tony Attallah
teaches our students to play oud (local instrument), violin, organ, and piano.
Each student is allowed to develop his/her music skills, at his own pace, and
on an instrument of choice.
The piano tuning course is not on offer currently.
Some of our residents who took this course in previous years are able to do
piano tuning and restoration work. We hope to offer this course again in the
future, when we succeed in recruiting a qualified piano tuning
technician.
Our school is well equipped with a center for piano
tuning and restoration. We have many pianos of different kinds, each isolated in a sound-proof
room and provided with all the necessary tools. The course is a three to four
year program depending on the achievement of the individual student. The first
year program includes an introduction to Music, the piano and all its parts,
emphasizing the theoretical side of tuning with the objective of achieving an
acceptable background of music knowledge and understanding, full familiarity
with the parts of the piano and the way it operates, and a good perception of
piano tuning and restoration. Limited practical skills of piano tuning
are also taught the first year.
