About Bouzouki Praise

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will trust in the Lord.

Psalm 40:3 (NASB)

My story

Dionysis Theodorou

My name is Dionysis Theodorou. I was born in Cyprus, and Greek and English are my mother tongues, and I am fluent in Hebrew. I lived in England for eight years and in New York for eight years. In April 1998, while living in New York, I came to faith in Jesus and was born again. I went on to study biblical criticism, Jewish history and Hebrew linguistics. In October 2002 I moved to Israel, where I have lived ever since.

I am a music producer and instructor, and I perform as a vocalist and bouzouki player. I've been performing on the bouzouki since 1984 and teaching for over 20 years. I serve on the worship teams at my congregations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and I also join other worship teams around Israel.

What you'll learn

Greek scales through worship songs

I teach Greek musical scales through Hebrew and Greek worship songs. Western music mainly uses two scales, major and minor, while Greek music has over 15. I also teach a range of playing techniques on the bouzouki that work on the guitar and ukulele too. The music I teach is universal and can be applied to any instrument.

The video lessons are in English and Greek. Alongside the lessons, I compose and produce my own music as well as covers.
