Exploring the Roots of Ancient Iranian Music

This week, I recorded a few gushes from the Radif of Mirza Abdollah in the Avaz of Abu-Ata. I’ve been trying to study the Radif more seriously, and to do that, I’m listening to a lot of traditional Iranian music to train my ear and internalize its sound structure. Today, I also performed in an artistic gathering, which was a new experience for me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t record that performance, so I decided to film this week’s video at home instead. I hope you enjoy it! One thing I really appreciate about recording myself is that it helps me notice my mistakes. I can compare my playing with the masters’ recordings and see where I need to improve — it’s like being my own teacher. This week I also watched an interview with a music teacher who talked about how to practice effectively. He said that practice should always involve feedback — you need to know what you’re doing wrong and correct it. For example, if you keep playing a note too low, mark it on the sheet so you’ll remember to play it higher next time, or listen back to your recordings and fix the weak spots. He also mentioned something that really struck me: practicing for more than 4 or 5 hours a day often means you’re no longer using your brain — you’re just repeating, reinforcing bad habits instead of learning something new. I found that idea really valuable, and I hope it helps you too. 🌿
