Online Oud Faculty — Tradition-Bearer (Remote, Worldwide)

The oud is the Middle East's beating heart — fretless, ancient, and endlessly expressive. TGC seeks masters of the maqam traditions. YOUR STUDIO Teach right-hand risha technique and fretless intonation, maqam theory and modulation, taqsim (improvisation), the Arabic, Turkish, and Persian repertoires as you carry them, and ensemble craft. THE ROLE, PLAINLY: this is per-lesson faculty work. You are paid for every lesson you teach — no salary, no minimum hours, no exclusivity. You keep your career, your existing students, and your city. TGC matches students to your studio, handles scheduling, billing, and safeguarding; you teach live on Zoom from wherever you live. You may also offer group classes, full-term studio cohorts, and ticketed masterclasses — you choose your formats and set your calendar.
