Nemat Battah hasn't added a story.
Hello all !
I am Nemat Battah, a 25 years old female musician from Jordan with Palestinian roots.
I finished my Bachelor degree in music at the University of Jordan, Amman in 2016. In August 2016 I got a full scholarship to obtain a master's degree in World music interpretation at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. I finished my degree last month, and I wrote about studying Maqam through the Muwashah song form "a traditional Arabic song form that was originated in Andalusia" , and I have arranged Muwashahat for musicians from different musical backgrounds.
Now I was one of two people who got accepted to obtain another master's degree in Global music at Sibelius Academy in Helsinki "Ranked #6 among performing arts schools in the world".
During the next 2.5 years I will focus on studying Maqam improvisation through Recitiation "Tajweed", and implement that in a cross-cultural context by composing music for a small ensemble focusing on finding an interesting cross-cultural improvisational language.
During my studies, I will do a field research in Cairo that will be supported by the University . The goal is to come up with a pedagogical project to teach Maqam improvisation through Tajweed.
Unfortunately, Finland does not have scholarships to cover the living expenses for international students, especially students from outside the EU, and they expect the international students to get grants from their own countries. I have been searching for similar things but I did not have any luck.
Therefore, I am asking for your help. Any suggestions are welcome and spreading the word will also help me.
Any amount will be appreciated and will help me during my studies until I find something to cover the rest of my expenses.
The money I will get will be mainly used to cover my living expenses, and help me with my research.
For you dear supporters, you will be able to help a female Arab musician to educate many people about traditional Arabic music and finding new ways to make it accessible for all.
As a small payback, after my studies, I can give workshops, lessons or arrange projects that can help people who are interested to know more about traditional Arabic music, my personal influences and arranging skills.
!IMPORTANT NOTES!
-This is not an "all or nothing campaign", even if I did not reach the goal that I want, I can still keep any amount I get.
- If you live in Amman and would like to give me cash we can fix that :)
- you can pay in US dollars or Swedish Krona as well :)
- if you have any questions contact me on Facebook or email : Battahnemat93@gmail.com
I am positive that I will get the support I need from my lovely community !
Thank you in advance.
Truly yours,
Nemat Battah
