Tümata

Abstract

The Group for the Research and Promotion of Turkish Music was founded by Asst. Prof. Dr. Rahmi Oruc Guvenc in 1976, and research in theory and application is being carried out, exploring the subjects of Turkish music history, its instruments and their manufacturing techniques and specialties, repertory elements and execution methods within the scope of comparative music history and the Ethnomusicology tradition. The musical healing and movement therapy tradition, which uses ethnomusical elements within the environment of modern medical science, has an important place in Turkish history and culture. TUMATA, has united the residue of knowledge in musical healing and movement therapy that has reached our time, with clinical and laboratory experiments.
