An Assesment in the Context of the Turkish Classical Music Exam Made by the Municipality of Istanbul in 1941

Journal Title: Turkish Academic Research Review - Year 2021, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

Turkish music was adversely affected by the Westernization movements that started in the recent times of the Ottoman Empire and entered a more difficult period with the decision to be removed from the official educational institutions during the early Republic period (1926). Due to the education gap that emerged with this decision of the Turkey Rebuplic State, Turkish Classical Music artists remained far from the principle of knowledge and method. As a matter of fact, the "non-methodical tradition" that spread among the vocal and instrumental artists working on radio and public musical places was shown as one of the reasons why Turkish Classical Music fell out of favor. From the end of the 19th century until the ban on Turkish Classical Music on radios in 1934, Turkish Classical music has become a field suitable for incompetence in performance. In 1941, the decision of the Istanbul Municipality to test the Turkish Classical Music artists who work in public musical places in order to determine the competent Turkish music artists, has been the focus of many negative or positive reactions in the public opinion. In this study, the process of being tested for Turkish Classical Music artists, what happened during the exam process and the flows of this exam in the community of music will be evaluated comparatively. In addition, some ideas about this exam and Turkish Music education will be put forward in the conclusion section.
