Basic knowledge of makams by Yorgos Mavromanolakis

Many of the workshops at the Musical Workshop Labyrinth focus on musical traditions which make use of the modal system of makams. The makam system has many branches and sometimes quite significant differences occur from one tradition to another but the basic concept is usually similar enough to enable musicians of different traditions to communicate their ideas to one another. The most commonly used makam system in the seminars at Labyrinth is that found in the contemporary Turkish tradition.  Many students have expressed a desire that we include in our program a course in basic knowledge of makams which would run parallel to the other seminars in which they participate.
