What will I learn?
You'll start by understanding the duduk's anatomy, reed selection, and proper maintenance so your instrument always performs at its best. From there, you'll develop correct posture, diaphragmatic breathing, and embouchure to produce a centred, resonant tone. You'll master the full diatonic fingering system, traditional Armenian and Middle Eastern modal scales, and expressive ornaments like glissando, vibrato, and trills. Advanced chapters cover circular breathing, ensemble dam technique, and authentic repertoire interpretation. You'll also explore reed making, modal improvisation, and professional performance preparation.
