Hi, I’m [Mahdi Gheitasi]
As a musician, I am playing percussions since 2008, and I was taking Daf courses from 2008 to 2017 in Iran. From 2014 to 2017, I was taking Daf courses with Meastro Bijan Kamkar, aryan Rezaei, and Hossein Rezaeniya. During these years, I created my own group known as Torghe. Torghe consists of musicians who are working on the folk music of iran, especially in Kurdistan and Khorasan areas.
Since 2017, I am teaching Daf to enthusiastic students in Iran and Europe. I am teaching based on Bijan Kamkar and one hundred lessons of Daf books. Moreover, I designed courses based on useful methods and useful rhythms.
