Makam is a system of melodic structures used in Turkish Classical Music and has a complex set of rules for composition and performance. Between the 10th and 19th centuries, makams were used extensively in Ottoman hospitals to support both physical and psychological healing. Throughout history, and now today within the field of music therapy, makams have been a topic of research. In this event, we will be introducing three makams: Saba, Hicaz and Segah. We’ll discuss their effects on human beings and play improvisations, as well as vocal and instrumental pieces in these makams. The event will also involve audience participation. https://www.volkanefe.com/healing-with-turkish-music-modes
