Course description
In this course, Zafer Yümlü invites you on a sweeping journey through the history of musical instruments — a story that begins with early human civilizations in Africa, unfolds through Mesopotamia and Anatolia, and continues into Europe and the modern world.
Along the way, you will discover how cultures met, clashed, and inspired one another, shaping the sounds, materials, and forms of the instruments we know today. Each civilization left its mark, transforming simple tools into powerful vehicles of expression, ritual, and identity.
This is not just a history of objects, but a story of human creativity itself — told through sound, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange across thousands of years.
