I feel extremely privileged to say that Rahim teaches the Intro to Middle Eastern Music class at my university. I had such a wonderful time learning from him, and his emphasis on music as something that comes straight from the soul has had a profound impact on my own playing as a classical musician. He's a great person and a fantastic artist; it's always a treat to hear him play!
