Aviva Chernick's Prayer Project
Aaron plays oud, saz and guitar in this inspirational music group that is finding new expressions for Jewish liturgical music.
The oud
Aaron has been fascinated with the oud for a number of years and continues to study this instrument and the traditional music composed for it. Few music therapists in North America use Eastern String Instruments in their clinical practice. Aaron has found a number of applications of his skills in oud and sitar in the context of a Western music therapy practice.
