PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

I’m hamze taheri I was borin in Tehran in 1983. I play a range of Iranian traditional string

instruments such as TANBOUR, RABAB, TAAR, SETAAR and DOTAAR.

I am playing TANBOUR as my main instrument for more than 22 years & I am teaching that for

more than 18 years.

As TANBOUR is one the Iranian folk instruments, like many other ethnic instruments, its

learning process is mostly by ear. In collaboration with my teacher in 2010 we wrote and

published series of TANBUR LEARNING BOOKS consists of 3 volumes, in which we theorized a

method of teaching and learning TANBUR using notations in the standard scale of music

learning books. After gaining valuable experiences in education finally in 2022 I published my

own book with a different teaching method called ”TANBOUR NOTEBOOK” or

”TANBOURLEARNING” and tutorial videos of this book are available on my you tube channel.

I played in more than twenty concerts and recitals in Iran & Turkiye with six different bands,

four of which was founded by myself.

Last year I composed and arranged my songs with my band named ”KARIZBAND” and we

published our first album named ”GALLOP” which can be heard on all music platforms.
