Immerse yourself in the Turkish world of melodies, which are transferred here from singing or the ney, the traditional Turkish wind instrument, to the recorder (soprano and alto). Traditional melodies are accompanied by classical Ottoman and modern melodies. Specialist Valentina Bellanova provides a basic introduction to the Turkish music system and the way it is played. For example, you will learn to play quarter notes and become familiar with the most important melodic and rhythmic modes. Bellanova also provides high-quality reference recordings for all pieces on both the recorder and the ney.
