Music Yasar University

Overview

Through this implementation model, Music students progress to play as soloists or in accompaniment, and ultimately become performing members of the orchestra. In 2009 the department started to offer Stringed Instrument training, both Graduate and Proficiency programmes; while in 2010 the Piano – Guitar Graduate programme was introduced. In 2011, the Music Department initiated the first “Student Focused” Music education programme in Turkey. 

In order to support students in their training and give them every opportunity to excel in their practical and theoretical courses, the department has instrument practice rooms that are available for one-to-one tutorials, sound proofed classrooms, studios, recording areas and a concert hall for performances. The concerts given by the Yasar University Chamber Orchestra and Music Department students are filmed and broadcast on-line, using the latest high definition digital broadcasting technology.
