Beyond being an incredibly knowledgeable teacher, he has a way of making you feel completely at ease. … He knows when to correct you, when to push you, and when to simply let you build confidence. Every lesson feels personal, motivating, and genuinely enjoyable. …
It was really hard to find an Arabic vocal coach who truly specializes in vocal technique, so I’m very happy I found Mr. Wael. I’m only on my second lesson, and I can already feel a little progress. He explains everything step by step, gives honest and constructive feedback, and makes sure you understand exactly what to improve. His teaching style is patient, professional, and encouraging. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to develop their voice the right way.
I had struggled for a while to find a vocal teacher who specialises in Arabic singing, so I’m very glad I found Mr Wael. He is highly professional and has strong expertise in oriental singing.
His teaching focuses on maqamat and proper technique, including correct breathing, pitch control, and vocal placement, which has really helped me improve. He explains things clearly and works in a structured, effective way.
I highly recommend Mr Wael to anyone serious about developing their voice, especially in Arabic music.
I’ve been taking singing classes with Wael, and it has been a fantastic experience. He is exceptionally patient, supportive, and kind. I remember my voice was shaking during my very first class, but with his continuous encouragement, I now feel so much more confident and comfortable singing. I highly recommend his lessons to anyone interested in learning Arabic music and singing!
Highly recommended!
A few months ago, I started with zero experience in Arabic singing, and I can already see real progress thanks to Mr. Wael. Supportive, precise, and inspiring, he has helped me grasp essential vocal techniques and develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Arabic music. The learning journey continues, and I look forward to improving even more!

He not only teaches singing techniques but also helps his students connect with the beauty and emotion of Arabic songs. …
… A special mention must go to my teacher, Wael. He is incredibly professional, patient, and kind-hearted. His passion for music is not only evident but also truly infectious. Under his guidance, learning transcends mere instrument practice; it feels like an immersive journey into the heart of Arabic music culture. He doesn't just teach notes—he shares stories, history, and the soul behind the music. …
