Here is some information and translations of some of the music used in class. We are trying to give you the context as well as the translation but this is not always possible.

If you want to buy music then, please remember that the spelling is sometimes different, Arabic is phonetic by the way. It is how you say it in English that is important. This raises an important point.

When you identify the name of the piece of music that you like, ensure that you get the right one that you want by noting the arrangement, record label, musicians and singers etc. Otherwise you will find you have got the piece you want but it is a different arrangement.
