Mustafa Kamaliddin - Bmus, Mmus

Performer

I am a professionally trained musician with a bachelors and masters degree in performance. I play fretboard instruments, namely the classical guitar and ukulele. and specialize in fingerstyle technique, or what history geeks might call Punteado technique.

In 2023, I will complete my masters degree performing 2 recitals on the ukulele, renaissance, and baroque guitar. Adding period instruments to my arsenal and creating a unique concert repertoire that envelops 500 years of music featuring 4 fretboard instruments

Teacher

I have been teaching since 2010. I taught all ages, levels, styles, ensemble configurations, and was charge of the music program at a private school in France!! I've seen it all...and with those experiences, I've developed a clear philosophy in all of my pedagogical approaches:

My online courses and private lessons focus on making music as accessible as possible to everyone wanting to learn music. I believe with hard work and a bit of discipline, everyone can achieve their objectives. Setting goals, learning how to achieve them, and being able to self-measure rate of success in your practising sessions is paramount, all within a fun, engaging, and driven environment to avoid frustration, disappointment, and stagnation.

These are the common obstacles that all students encounter during their learning journey. Believe me I've been there as a student and teacher for 14 years. It is crucial whichever path you follow, it addresses these obstacles head-on and provide solutions for your growth regardless of age or ability.

Oh, and don't forget to have fun while you're at it!

Arranger / YouTuber

Most of my work is done online on YouTube. I arrange music in both classical and popular domain for fingerstyle ukulele and guitar. These arrangements are uploaded in high quality video/audio with tabs provided on screen to follow along for free

These arrangements are graded from absolute beginner (0) to concert level (demonic!) with grades 1-8 sandwiched in between. My popular music arrangements are available on MusicNotes website as they legally license these tabs and pay royalties to the wonderful artists who create these songs.

Besides the free tabs, my channel also provides the occasional tutorial to help people out without having to commit finances to their journey, yet!!
