Azad Khoshnaw Homepage

I was born in Shaqlawa town that is located in the southern part of Kurdistan.
I started to learn music and play musical instruments in 1977.
I started with playing Guitar, then Saz and finally started with Violin in 1983.
I was a member in the Fine Arts Association Team - Erbil branch (1984-1986).
Then I became a member in Folk team (Tipi Milli) that was the best musical team in
Erbil city at that time I founded Safin musical team in Shaqlawa in 1990.

I recorded a cassette in 1993-1995 under the name of Dangara songs.
There were 9 pieces of music in this cassette, including: Dangare, Kepkî Shilane,
Gîyane besiyetî,Shemame u shlêre,Kalê, Shlêre, Gulbakê êwarê and Tem u baran.
I live in Cologne city of Germany since 1996.I was a member in Cologne Orchestra Gesellschaft
for some time.I currently work in A.D.Schneider studio.Apart from playing violin I do mixing and
arranging (Arranj and mix).I wrote a book that teaches music notes. It is composed of 50 lessons
This is dedicated to those hardworking musicians who are very keen to progress, and are playing
their instruments delightedly but they have not got an opportunity to learn music tones so far.
This book has been published in both German and Kurdish languages.
I have designed a CD for the purpose of training with rhythm and Solfeg.
Not only musicians can be trained with this CD, but also singers can get huge benefit from it.
