Sita Niwas just east of the Golden Temple can't remember the
Street name, but locals will know it for sure, some of the rooms
look out onto the gardens in the Golden Temple, it can get a
little noisy in the mornings been this close to the Temple, but
in my mind you can't beat this hotel for location

My TUNIS-OUD
EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!
Hello everybody!
Just came back from Tunis and as I promised you I am going to
report in few words my Oud experience.
Well, I went to study with ACHREF CHARGUI, a young tunisian oud
teacher who teachs also at the Tunis Conservatoire.
He is absolutely great!!!!!
First of all, he's a very nice, funny, intelligent, open minded,
intresting, extremily kind and friendly guy.
Then, he's a very, very good player, but the most important
thing is that he's a very, very, very good TEACHER, that is not
the same thing as you know for sure..
He made me understand Maqamat philosophy (well, a part of it!)
in few hours, he taught me several incredibly useful exercises,
he playd lots of taksims in front of me teaching me how to
analyze them, or better to say, how to feel and understand them.
He has a "spiritual" approach to Oud, but he's also concerned
about tecnique\ I think he gets a good balance between tecnique,
knowledge and freedom of expression.
He's the kind of teacher you become friend with, very keen on
helping you, sharing his knowledge with great pleasure, and he
doesn't definitely look at the watch when is teaching\
He feels almost guilty when you pay him!! I am sure that if he
was rich he would not even ask for money..
He gave me several music sheets and lots of music, and what
it'is important to, we talked a lot, and he answered to all of
my thousand questions with pleasure.
Of course I am not as much expert as most of you, so maybe I'm
not the right person for giving a techical judgement on his
playng\ Maybe for me he's very very good musican, for some of
you, he's just a good musician, I don't know.
What I can definitely say is that he's very good in teaching,
he's very knowledgable, he's a great man, and yes, I think that
he's a very very good Oud player.
I higly recomend at least one try!
His name is ACHREF CHARGUI\ anyone can contact me for his
number\ Anyway, you'll find him in FACEBOOK.
Thank you guys, I am looking forward to study my lessons now,
and remember, my room for guests in Palermo, is always ready for
every Oud player of the planet!!!
