Learn the magic ofAlbanian Çifteli
Learn traditional Albanian çifteli through personalized one-on-one lessons in the tri-state area
Welcome toOur Oda
“In the spirit of the traditional Albanian oda e burrave, our academy serves as a cultural gathering place where music, heritage, and community unite.”
I started playing çifteli in 2009. As much as i loved keeping it as my own personal hobby, I realized there arent many ways for people to learn it. And to me, this is bigger than just a pastime - it's about contributing to the life of the art of the çifteli. In the spirit of the traditional Albanian oda e burrave, Çifteli Academy serves the spirit and the soul of just that.
