Teaching the Ney with the Meṣk Method PB

This book is not a method. A book alone is insufficient for teaching Turkish music. The foundation of Turkish musical training, the abovementioned mesk system, is a master-apprentice relationship. Works such as this must be seen only as a guidance in the mesk system. The book does not contain all the makams of Turkish music. Rather, in view of the four-year education received by ney students, it provides an array of makams in order of difficulty. Abbreviated theoretical information is provided for each makam as well as important points and easy ways to perform them.
