Classes this term
🌹 Âyîn Class
Saturdays, 9:30–11:30am PT | 20:30–22:30 TR (GMT+3) (4 months / 16 weeks)
Âyîn Class is a space of attentive listening, where poetry, rhythm, and melody are companions on the path. We’ll explore the meaning of the text as it moves through usûl and form, with practical work on makâm, geçki (modulation between makams), and pitch to help the music land with clarity and heart. This term we’ll be with the Sûzidil Âyîn-i Şerîf, composed by Zekâ’î Dede.
Starts February 21, 2026
🌹 İlâhî Class
Tuesdays, 9:30–11:30am PT | 20:30–22:30 TR (GMT+3) (ongoing, join anytime)
İlâhî Class offers a gentle way into Turkish music and Sufi music culture through ilâhîs. Alongside ilâhîs, we’ll also spend time with related devotional forms such as nefes, deyiş, and semâh, and the worlds they carry. We’ll share brief context on the composers and poets, explore the meaning of the lyrics, and do practical work with makâm, geçki (modulation between makams), pitch nuance, and usûl so the singing feels grounded and alive. Open to ilâhî lovers of all levels.
Starts February 24, 2026
