The importance of voice training and pronunciation in soloist performance in classical Turkish art music

The traditional meşk system, developed for Turkish art music soloists, still maintains its validity today.While many performers train new performers who are coming from behind, they used the information they learned from their previous generations through mutual performance.While the applicability of this method still remains valid today, unfortunately "easiness", which has spread to each of the theoretical and practical fields of the Turkish art music affected the pedagogical methods applied to the soloist. However, even when the performers who are trained in the near future are examined, it is seen that a soloist has the minimum knowledge about the sound and it is very important to develop this information and use it in the performance. In this context, throughout this research, voice training, breathing and breathing techniques as well as diction and pronunciation are explained and in the light of these, preparations of the Turkish art music soloist before performance are explained.
