Emaar Entertainment has opened the Arabic Music Institute, an initiative dedicated to imparting the essentials of Arabic music – the first-of-its-kind in the region.
Designed to cultivate future maestros of this genre, the institute offers a specialised long-term programme tailored for young learners aged between six to nine years old. This comprehensive programme blends theoretical knowledge with practical skills, encompassing instrument lessons, chorus singing, solfeggio, and more. The first semester of the programme is set to kick off in January 2024, aiming to provide students with a well-rounded understanding of music theory and hands-on experience.
The institute extends its offerings to music enthusiasts of all ages, welcoming them to partake in private music lessons and choose from an array of instruments, including Oud, Qanun, Reed Flute (Nay), Clarinet, Cello, Violin, and Arabic rhythm instruments.
Situated in Downtown Dubai, the Arabic Music Institute features state-of-the-art facilities, including acoustic private training rooms, classrooms, world-class recording studios available for rent, a café, a small-scale performance majlis, and an immersive music museum showcasing the history of Arabic music.
Spanning 400 sqm, the Music Museum within the institute offers guests a chance to embark on an immersive journey through time and melody, exploring the rich history of Arabic music. The museum provides insights into the evolution of music and offers visitors a musical experience, complete with activities such as a karaoke room.
In a statement, an official Emaar Spokesperson said: “The Arabic Music Institute represents Emaar’s ongoing commitment to providing enriching and culturally significant experiences to residents and visitors alike. With its dedication to preserving and promoting the beauty of Arabic music, the institute is poised to become a cultural landmark in Downtown Dubai.”
