My daughters of 4 & 3 are enjoying playing tha da'af. You have really helped me to learn how to play. As a result, my eldest daughter is great at playing Maksoom and we watch your video to really help us. We are now getting to grips with Baladee after mastering Maksoum. Could you play the da'af and show us all how to play whilst singing to 'Ta'la Al'Badru Alyayna? I am also a grade 6 teacher & we will be perfoming the nasheed at the students' graduation ceremony. We currently use 'Yusuf Islam's' version to practise. I love your videos & keep posting. This is your legacy as a musician.
