My project is first and foremost about developing a pedagogical method for teaching Middle Eastern folk and classical music on the violin. As a secondary goal, I want to know if my own playing could benefit from applying such a method and become more skilled in expressing myself artistically on my instrument.  In order to achieve this, first, I have transcribed and notated music from different music styles of the Middle East, including Kurdish, Persian, Arabic and Turkish music and described the specific traits of these different styles. Then, I have created a method of how to represent different stylistically important elements in the music, e.g. the most popular ornaments used in this music, as well as finding new ways of representing them by new symbols. Finally, I have devised exercises for learning and perfecting these style elements, such as ornaments.           There is no well-established method for teaching the Middle Eastern styles of violin playing (Eilenberg, 1993). This fact makes it challenging for students to learn and pass on the tradition. Unlike Western Classical music, Middle Eastern music involves using different modal systems, including scales with quarter tones. The modes and corresponding scales are called Maqam and there are a great many of them. (Todorov, 2018)A violinist playing this style of music, usually uses intricate ornamentations in playing on these scales when making an extemporization or improvisation on the maqam, called Taksim. Not having a method for this complicated music style, makes a new learner to rely solely on learning by ear and learn through imitation, which is today often performed by listening to recorded sources. In my personal experience, it took many years of careful listening and imitating to learn how to play Middle Eastern music on the violin.          As an accomplished violinist and teacher, now I want to establish and develop my method so students can take advantage of it and learn this music more thoroughly, faster and become more accomplished in expressing themselves within the style. My hope is that this method will help preserve the Middle Eastern style of violin playing and make it easier to pass on to the next generations. Furthermore, the method will also help an interested foreigner to understand and potentially learn Middle Eastern music on the violin. Thus, my research interest is to investigate in what way I can describe, notate the pertinent stylistic elements of the music for to develop a ‘Method for oriental violin playing’, including notations, exercises, and teaching process, that can make a musician understand the Middle Eastern music styles and learn to play them. The ultimate aim is to pass the tradition easier and faster, giving aspiring violinists possibility to develop their violin playing within this field. Hopefully, from notating and transcribing these styles the tradition can be preserved. A specific question is also to investigate the usefulness of the method for groups of violins.   Secondary research interest is to investigate how this work might influence the development of my own playing, in terms of technique and expressing.    Summary of research questions:    -              How can I describe and notate the Middle Eastern violin styles with details? -              What are the most important stylistic elements and techniques?  -              How can I teach this music? -              How can I pass on the tradition faster and easier with the help of a method in a way that develops the field of Middle Eastern violin styles? -              Can I develop my own playing and artistic skills by applying exercises for stylistic features? / <p>Samai Hijaz                                       Göksel Baktagir (Turkish) Bogazici                                            Baki Kemanci (Turkish)</p><p>Alan Kamil – Violin </p><p>Feras Sharstan – Kanun</p><p>Saman Taha – Piano</p><p>Mårten Hillbom – Raqq and Cajon </p><p> </p><p>Swedish folk music meets Kurdish folk music!    (Kurdish and Swedish)</p><p>Alan Kamil – Violin </p><p>Tommy Lundberg – Violin </p><p> </p><p>Pirozbe                                          Nasir Razazi’s Song (Kurdish)</p><p>              Violins:</p><p>Alan Kamil</p><p>Tommy Lundberg </p><p>Anna Ekborg</p><p>Sandra Arvman</p><p>Nichelle Johansson</p><p> </p><p>Saman Taha – Piano </p><p>Mårten Hillbom – Cajon</p><p> </p><p>Swan Lake                                        Mojtaba Mirzadeh (Persian) Soran Badinan                                  Dilshad Said (Kurdish)</p><p>Alan Kamil – Violin </p><p>Saman Taha – Piano </p><p> </p><p>Nassam Aleyna el Hawa                 Rahbani Brothers – Fairouz (Arabic)</p><p>Alan Kamil – Violin </p><p>Feras Sharstan – Kanun</p><p>Saman Taha – Piano</p><p>Mårten Hillbom – Darbuka </p><p> </p><p>Eshveh                                              Bijan Mortazavi (Persian)</p><p>Alan Kamil – Violin </p><p>Saman Taha – Piano </p>

Para tal contextualização, foi realizado um panorama da pedagogia musical em determinadas épocas específicas. Para o propósito do trabalho, foram enfocados a antiga tradição de ensino dos artesãos - relação mestre e aprendiz - e o sistema institucionalizado de ensino de música, como continuação do modelo estabelecido pelo Conservatoire de Paris. O estudo propõe uma leitura contextualizada dos documentos didáticos disponíveis desses dois universos pedagógicos, tendo como exemplo os tratados e métodos de violino. O movimento de resgate da música antiga, ocorrido durante o século XX, é analisado aqui dentro do contexto pedagógico: a sua inserção no sistema educacional de música. A partir desse enfoque, o estudo chama a atenção para o paradoxo do pensamento artesanal dos procedimentos didáticos do ancien régime dentro do contexto metodizado da formação musical da era Conservatoire. Através de um panorama do atual ensino da música antiga oficializada nas escolas, desde suas origens, com especial enfoque no testemunho do pioneiro do movimento Sigiswald Kuijken, o estudo coloca em evidência o paradoxo da didática histórica não linear e artesanal dentro do sistema metodizado moderno como uma possível diretriz pedagógica oficial para o futuro do ensino musical - uma era mais consciente do seu papel de sucessora do canonicismo artístico e pedagógico dos ideais oitocentistas / Abstract: This research intended to provoke a discussion about the teaching of early music practice as part of the system of today's advanced music schools. For that, a panorama of music pedagogy in different epochs was made. As part of the context of the present study, the ancient teaching tradition of the artisans - the master and apprentice relationship - and the contemporary institutionalized system of music teaching, an heritage of the Paris Conservatory model, were put together facing its differences and antagonisms. The study suggests a way of reading the historical pedagogical documents related to violin teaching through the perspective of the two pedagogical universes. The rediscovery of the early music practice, in the XXth century, was analyzed in its pedagogical consequences: the inclusion of period-instrument teaching as part of the music educational system. In this vision, there is an especial look in the paradox of the artisanal thought - as part of the didactics of the ancien régime - inside the methodized form of modern teaching. Through a panorama of the present situation of early music instruction in the advanced schools, from its origins, and with the particular testimony of the pioneer Sigiswald Kuijken, the research puts in evidence the paradox of the historical didactic of the artisans inside the modern methodized system as a possible direction for the future of music teaching - a new era, more conscious of its role as a successor of the canonic ideals of the Romantic times / Doutorado / Praticas Interpretativas / Doutor em Música
