BağlamaDescription
This course focuses on the short neck saz (bağlama). We will concentrate on technique, including how to hold the plectrum (mizrap), and how different positions produce different sounds. We will assess the use of various hand positions, as well as ergonomics of the entire arm, and analyze commonly used scales and ornaments. We will also discuss different sources for learning saz.
This course is for students who are able to hold, tune and produce sound on the saz, eager to learn technique and develop their performing skills within the context of a basic repertoire:
