Experience music beyond the twelve notes and indulge in the possibilities that lay in between the black and white keys, and below the frets. Join this class to explore maqam (pl. maqamat), the Middle Eastern microtonal modal system, and get a deeper understanding of maqam structures, paths, modulations, improvisation techniques, and other applications. Learn the purpose and meaning of the main maqamat and the stylistic regional differences of each one, and gain some great tools that are necessary to perform, or even compose, music in this style. Get great exposure to Arab, Turkish, Greek and Balkan music.
