Summary
The project titled Tanbur Education: Application of the Model to Produce Audial Education Material in the Field of Traditional Turkish Music was realized in order to apply the model offered via the 20.101.2016.0004 numbered Ege University scientific research project which was prepared by considering the relation between audio records and written resources in traditional Turkish music education including a specific undergraduate program’s curriculum. As part of the project, the versions of forty four pieces in twenty two makams chosen amongst the curriculum of the courses “Instrument Training (Tanbur) II, III, IV” given in Ege University State Conservatory of Turkish Music were written in finale 2014 music notation program, these pieces performed by tanbur in accordance with the written material were recorded and the validity of the produced education material was tested through experimental practices and interviews carried out by the participation of the two tanbur and a violoncello student and the lecturers of tanbur and violoncello courses. When the data obtained at the end of the project are evaluated, it is seen that audial material usage especially supports the elements of memorizing the pieces, unity in performance and ornamentation and it improves the student’s study pace. Utilization of the audial education material prepared by tanbur which is a fretted instrument in accordance with the instrument training curriculum in our school with the expectation of its playing a role in increasing the academic success of our students by helping the acquisition of the aimed behaviours in the education of not only all students attending instrument training courses but also the visually impaired students in our school is among the suggestions offered in the Project.
