The seminar will focus on:
-the understanding of usûls,
-their use in the area of Anatolia &
- the learning techniques on the performance of instruments (according to the level of the participants).
The goal is to start learning first the main usûls, which although they are less than 16/8, they are also prominent, time-consuming and difficult to learn. It would not be appropriate to proceed and to go beyond the 16-time usûls without learning them.
