WHY A NEW COURSE WAS NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO THE CURRICULUMS OF TURKISH CONSERVATORIES: BENEFITS OF ORCHESTRAL REPERTORY CLASS

Abstract

Western classical music is relatively a new era in Turkey when compared with many well-developed European countries. The first music school was officially established in 1924. Since then, the curriculum has been changed for many times for many reasons. After years of changing the content of the curriculum, it came to its final state in approximately 1980s. Recently conservatory students have needed a new course to make their education more complete. Therefore, Orchestral Repertory class was added to the curriculum. Orchestra Repertory lets students study and practice parts from standard orchestral repertory. The main aim of the course is to help students to get a job by winning an orchestral audition. The purpose of this study is to find out why the educators needed to add this new course to the curriculum. Related information is indicated such as the quantity of the conservatories that already added the course to their curriculum and also the benefits of the course is given.

Key words: Western classical music, Turkey, European countries.
