This collection includes method books, exercise books, repertoire, makam and usul guides, DVDs, CDs, and learning sets for oud, baglama saz, ney, tar, setar, santur, tombak, daf, kamancheh, tanboor, and related traditional instruments. Quick answer: Choose by instrument, skill level, language, format, notation system, and learning goal. Always read the individual product page before ordering because language, subtitles, audio/video format, included discs, and regional compatibility vary by title. Choose Learning Materials by Instrument The best method is written for the exact instrument and musical tradition you want to study. A general theory book can support several instruments, but technique exercises should match the instrument.
