About
I hold a Bachelor of Music Education with a Violin Major from the Faculty of Specific Education, Alexandria University, graduating in 2017. Additionally, I expanded my professional expertise by participating in the intensive "Rays of Light" Composition and Improvisation Workshop at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and Goethe-Institut in Alexandria (August 2026), working alongside prominent international musicians.
I have extensive professional performance experience as a violinist, including performing at the Alexandria Opera House for 5 months in 2023 under the direction of Maestro Abdel Hamid Abdel Ghaffar. I also performed as a violinist with the Youth and Sports Ministry Orchestra in Cairo from 2019 to 2021, notably performing at Al Manara Conference Center in 2019 alongside Maestro Selim Sahab, Ali El Haggar, Medhat Saleh, and Mohamed Tharwat.
3. Teaching Experience
With over 15 years of teaching experience since 2015, I have provided structured individual and group violin instruction across various institutes. My experience includes working as a Violin Instructor at the Qithara Institute in Alexandria (2019–2024), Qithara Institute in Rehab City & Tulip Hotel, Cairo (2018–2019), and the Mozart Institute in Dokki, Cairo and Alexandria (2015–2018). Currently, I work as a Music / Violin Instructor at Dusk & Dawn Art Gallery (2024–present), teaching students of all levels, preparing them for ABRSM and Trinity College London examinations, and directing student string ensembles.
Teaching Style
My teaching philosophy centers on adaptability, patience, and structured musical growth. Whether you are picking up the violin for the very first time or an advanced musician looking to break through technical plateaus, I design every lesson to elevate your unique musical journey.
