Persian Santoor lessons at Cadenza Music Academy offer students a unique opportunity to explore the rich traditions, expressive sounds, and artistic depth of Persian classical music through personalized and engaging instruction. Designed for children, teens, and adults of all experience levels, our Santur lessons help students develop strong musical foundations while encouraging creativity, confidence, cultural connection, and artistic growth in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Guided by experienced instructor and performer Niloofar Ejraei, students are introduced to essential Santur techniques including hand positioning, mallet control, rhythm development, ear training, improvisation, musical interpretation, and traditional Persian repertoire. Lessons may also explore Persian modal systems (Dastgah), ornamentation, ensemble collaboration, listening skills, and contemporary creative approaches depending on each student’s goals and interests.

Whether students are beginning their musical journey, reconnecting with Persian cultural traditions, or pursuing advanced musical development, our Santur lessons are tailored to each individual’s learning style and artistic aspirations. Students may also have opportunities to participate in recitals, showcases, collaborative performances, and community events throughout the year, helping them build stage confidence and real-world performance experience in our welcoming artistic community.
