While this system builds on existing theoretical knowledge of maqam, it takes it further to a brand new methodology that enables anyone to learn maqam in a fun visual way using Lego without being simplistic. It is created so that the complex topic of Maqam is made easy and approachable by anyone. It is also complemented by booklets, transcription, theoretical explanations, audio kits and more.

Unlike the old way of teaching Arabic music, where you are supposed to figure out everything by a lengthy painful process of trial and error, or by reading complex confusing books, this proven method details in an easy to understand language, how to learn Maqam step by step.

This system allows Arabic music lovers to truly get maqam under their skin by following the organic method of embodying the maqam. This is the very same method the great ones of the Golden Arabic age (Umm Kulthum, Abdel Halim, Abdel Wahab, Fairouz…..) used for distinguishing the maqamat which focuses on a series of steps and processes to embody the maqam.

Since this system is built on the organic way of learning maqam, all you need is your ears. You don’t even need an instrument to go through this course and all is explained in a language that any one can understand.

As opposed to spending the notorious years it is said to take figuring out maqam, the Maqam Building Block system allows you to learn Maqam in days, saving you a ton of time, money and energy.

When it comes to learning Maqam, people think that there are 100s of Maqamat and therefore feel overwhelmed and start to think that maqam is a mission impossible. This system teaches you the few maqamat that are actively used today. You do not need archaic Maqamat that were in use ages ago (unless if you are a historian).

Al Farabi, in his book 'Al Musiqi Al Kabir' which is one of the most important books in Arabic music theory says that theory should follow practice. Not the other way round. The problem is that theories and maqam books are almost disconnected from how music is actually practiced on the ground. The result is that the vast majority of theory books are stuck in a theoretical bubble and give conflicting and confusing information about maqam.

The Maqam Building Block System ™ is entirely anchored in how music is practiced today, enabling you to be very clear on the information that matters and focus on what actually helps you learn Maqam.

However, if you want to geek out on the theory and the mathematical intervals the booklet is there for you to explain all of that.

In Arabic music, each maqam behaves in a different way and 99% of the time this is totally different to western music patterns. Therefore, it is super important to get to know each maqam as a unique case. Think of each Maqam Building block as a ‘person’. Each person has their own quirks. Their own way of moving. In this method, you will have an authentic understanding of the character of each Maqam.
