Description

Learn Turkish Oud with Baha Yetkin – Part 2

Continue your Turkish oud journey and take your playing skills further with the second part of my structured, step-by-step learning method.

With over 20 years of teaching experience and more than 1,000 students taught since 2003, I developed my Turkish Oud Method to make traditional oud education accessible to students around the world.

Building on the foundations established in Part 1, this course focuses on first-position playing, position changes, finger combinations and technical exercises designed to improve your speed, stamina and musical confidence.

Through progressive exercises and practical demonstrations, you will also learn how to apply these techniques to selected masterpieces from the Ottoman/Turkish music repertoire.

One Complete Method, Two Parts

This course is Part 2 of Turkish Oud Method – Volume I, a complete learning programme consisting of 152 video lessons divided into two complementary parts.

Part 1 introduces the essential foundations of Turkish oud playing, including posture, plectrum techniques, basic finger positions and fundamental exercises.

Part 2 continues directly from Part 1, helping you develop greater technical control, coordination, fluency and practical playing skills.

Together, both parts form one continuous learning journey, allowing you to progress at your own pace.

If you are completely new to the oud, I recommend beginning with Part 1 before continuing with this course.

Learn with the Method Book

The course is based on my published Turkish Oud Method – Volume I book, available in printed and digital formats through Bandcamp, Amazon, Apple Books and Google Play Books.

Let's Continue!

Consistent practice is essential for developing your technique. Even 30 minutes of focused daily practice can help you make steady progress.

If you have questions about the lessons or need advice on choosing an oud, feel free to contact me through Udemy.

Tune your oud, pick up your plectrum, and let's continue this musical journey together!
