"NATIONAL MUSIC ART AND THE YOUNGER
GENERATION: TEACHING NATIONAL
HERITAGE"

Institute of National Music Art, Uzbekistan
INTRODUCTION
Music art is an endless source of aesthetic taste and
emotional perception. It is a captivating world that
captures the heart and mind of humans. For this
reason, a person must always strive for beauty and
follow its rules in daily life. The musical traditions,
events, and local ceremonies in Uzbekistan are
deeply shaped by the social and historical
development of the Uzbek people, their
ethnopsychological
characteristics,
life
experiences, and social struggles, and have been
passed down through generations over the
centuries.
For this reason, young people learn virtues such as
love for the homeland, compassion, etiquette,
morality, and educational-cultural upbringing. The
adoption of essential normative-legal documents
aimed at developing music education, especially
after the years of independence, has played an
important role in fulfilling these tasks. The musical
culture of the Uzbek people has an ancient history.
The development of civilization between the two
rivers has seen the evolution of classical music,
traditional instrumental music, folk composition,
and amateur music heritage, with various forms of
performance blending into each other over time.
METHODS
This rich musical heritage is still a vital part of our
spiritual
culture
today.
Historically,
the
development of music culture and performance
arts in the land of Great Turan began in ancient
times. Great Eastern scholars such as Muhammad
al-Khwarizmi, Abu Nasr al-Farabi, Ahmad al-
Fergani, Avicenna, Pahlavan Mahmud, Mirzo

Babur, Abdurahman Jami, Najmiddin Kavkabi, and
Darvish Ali Changiy have contributed valuable
insights into music theory, performance, and the
structure of musical instruments in their writings.
The formation of this musical heritage is linked to
the invention and perfection of musical
instruments. The literary scholar N. Mallaev, in his
work "History of Uzbek Literature," states that
music in our region has developed alongside
artistic literature. During the 10th-12th centuries,
instruments such as the tambur, rubab, dutar,
qanun, and ney became widely distributed.
Archaeological excavations in historical cities of
our region have uncovered instruments like the
dutar and qanun, as well as depictions of musicians
playing instruments, providing evidence that
performance arts have developed here for
centuries.
The traditional forms of maqom, mugham, dastgah,
navbah, raga, and kyu in Eastern music have been
passed down orally from generation to generation.
RESULTS
The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan has
played a crucial role in the development of maqom
music, especially in terms of creating new
compositions based on traditional performance
methods, contributing to the modernization of
classical music. More than 20 decrees and
decisions have been adopted to enhance the
quality and development of this genre.
The “Education Law” of Uzbekistan and the
"National Training Program" emphasize the
training of highly skilled specialists who meet
contemporary demands. The conditions necessary
for this are well-established in the education
system. We know that the scientific and musical
heritage of medieval scholars and contemporary
Uzbek composers are key to understanding the
unique masterpieces of our people.
Music performance, folk composition, and its
genres continue to evolve and expand. The
traditions of "ustoz-shogird" (teacher-student)
learning have played an essential role in shaping
the music performance traditions in our region.
The system of teaching maqom performance
through "ustoz-shogird" remains central to
transmitting this heritage.
The apprenticeship system, where each musician
works under the guidance of a teacher, has been
fundamental in the transmission of musical
knowledge. This tradition has been preserved and
developed over the years.
DISCUSSION
Like all peoples of the world, the Uzbek people
have their own national values, including a rich
spiritual, musical, and literary heritage that has
developed over centuries. The completeness and
spiritual richness of the Uzbek music heritage is
evident to all. As with any national heritage, it has
been passed down orally over generations. This
oral tradition has continued to shape the cultural
practices of the people.
The national values of the Uzbek people, including
music, evolve slowly, adapting to the demands of
each era, but always remain rooted in tradition.
The preservation and creative adaptation of these
musical traditions are crucial for maintaining a
connection with the past while ensuring the
development of future generations.
CONCLUSION
In recent years, there have been significant
changes and innovations in music, particularly in
the area of maqom music. Our national maqoms
are gaining recognition worldwide, and their high
artistic value is becoming more evident. The goal is
to deepen our understanding of the historical,
cultural, and musical importance of maqoms and
promote them on a global stage. This will not only
contribute to the development of Uzbek musical
heritage but also to the broader world of music.

In 2021, the Uzbekistan National Music Art
Institute named after Yunus Rajabiy began its
activities. The institute has played an important

maqom tradition, achieving new successes in the
field.
