Summary
Ethnomusicology training at the State Conservatory of Istanbul University and my current master’s studies at the State Conservatory of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University have provided me with valuable academic and practical experiences. Engaging with the field has deepened my interest in the complex nature of religious rituals and musical practices, shaping the focus of my ongoing graduate research.
