@article{2018,title={TRAINING OF AMATEUR TURKISH FOLK MUSIC CHOIRS IN OUR UNIVERSITIES},abstractNode={This research is a descriptive study which uses qualitative research methods in order to determine the status of the university amateur Turkish folk music choirs by using the findings obtained from the interview form applied to expert choir instructors. A questionnaire on the research, an interview form for the expert chorus instructors, and a separate interview form for the chorus staff were obtained and content analyzes were conducted. In order to reach the data related to the research, the universities which have amateur Turkish folk music choir education in our country are classified by making geographical distribution. Amateur Turkish folk music in these regions was selected as a university by a random method from universities offering chorus education. As there are no amateur Turkish folk music choruses in the universities in the Eastern Anatolia region, a total of 6 universities were interviewed. In addition to demographic information questions, interview forms consisting of 14 open-ended questions were applied to 6 chorus trainers in the expert group of these research universities. According to the findings obtained from the research, the problems of inadequacy of basic music education and voice education studies in university amateur Turkish folk music corps, lack of physical conditions and technical equipment of the study hall, inconsistency of working days and hours with student hours, and inadequacy of preparation times for concerts and activities were determined. Suggestions have been prepared in the direction of these results.},author={Özgür PEKER-- Soner ALGI},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
