Duduk Lessons in Richmond Hill & Toronto

The duduk is a soulful Armenian wind instrument with a rich, ancient history. Made from aged apricot wood and played with a double reed, the duduk produces a warm, emotional tone that speaks directly to the heart. Perfect for both solo and ensemble playing, the duduk is a unique and expressive instrument to master.

At Melorin Music School, we offer personalized duduk lessons for students of all ages and skill levels, both online and in-person in Richmond Hill.
