Course Description

This course is designed to further advance the professional performance skills of students specializing in traditional vocal performance (khananda singing) within the Azerbaijani mugham tradition. Within the instructional framework, students continue the systematic study of the performance characteristics of mugham dastgahs, rhythmic mughams, tasnifs, and folk melodies.
Through this course, students refine the proper use of the vocal apparatus, breathing techniques, intonation accuracy, ornamentation, and improvisational abilities. By deepening their understanding of the modal–intonational structure, developmental logic, and expressive potential of mughams, students learn to apply these elements in accordance with national performance traditions.
The course also emphasizes ensemble coordination with instrumental accompaniment, effective emotional and expressive communication during performance, stage behavior, and professional ethics of the khananda. In addition, students are prepared for concerts and mugham evenings, with continuous practice focused on enhancing live performance culture and stage experience.
