I hope these give some good suggestions. The article was pretty full already. Maybe consider using a different article to explore some of these. Maybe this one.

Music of North Africa

You can then practice using photos and arranging the article properly.

This is a very full article. However, I think there could be be some more written on the different religious music i nEgypt. Is their Christian and Islamic music present or possibly other religions also. This would not have to be a big section just a few sentences. Maybe this source will help.

Frishkopf, M. (2021). Muslims, Music, and Religious Tolerance in Egypt and Ghana: A Comparative Perspective on Difference. In Islam and Popular Culture (pp. 323-346). University of Texas Press.

Further areas of research could be on improvisational music in Egypt. I know for the music of the Middle East and for Maqam music improvisation plays a major role. This source may help with that. Watson, C. (2012). How musicians develop the ability to improvise: a cross-cultural comparison of skill development in the Egyptian, Hindustani classical, and jazz traditions. PhD diss., University of New South Wales.

Another area of research could be the use of such advanced instruments and what this says or reflects about where the instruments were used and also how important music was to the Egyptian's who used such advanced music. This might give a bit of extensions level content if you look into the use of music and what is was used for. Even though there is already a bit of this discussion present I think there could be a whole paragraph on it. Maybe also look at hierarchies. Who was playing. for what reason did they play.

There is also a bit of division given to rural and urban music but i also have read about the nomadic people of the Middle East. I wonder if the Bedouin or another group was nomadic and how these people affected Egyption folklore.
