Turkish Makam Music Course series by

If you want to have detailed information about Turkish music makams, or if you want to increase your knowledge about makams or want to learn how to add the fascinating sounds of makam music to your music, then you should join this course. I will take you into the kitchen of Turkish makam music and teach you all details of it. I will concretely share the characteristic structures, melodic developments, sample melodies and we will analyze great works of Turkish music. We will talk about both theory and practice. Also, I will give an example seyir(melodic development) of each makam and ask for similar seyirs from you as homework, send me via email as a paper version and recording. I use the method which has been using for 500-600 years, that's called in Turkish "meshk". I just configure it for online lessons. I'll provide documents and notes (scores) that you will get them at the end of every session (except 1st lesson, you'll get it front). This is a long journey, you need to spend some time to practice and listen. The course will start on the 2nd of June Wednesday at 8 pm (London time) and it’s gonna be the same time every week. The duration of the lessons about 70-75min. You should subscribe to my channel as paid subscription to reach the course, so you should choose the monthly option when the pop-up opens. Then we’ll meet on the 2nd of June at 8 pm. Hope to see you there.
