Synopsis

This article on “to be exposed or not to be exposed to Turkish experiences”; Starting from the 1970s with a little more precision until today, the properties of Turkish Music, where people listen to it, in what environments, by which instruments, and what quality of music listening to the ears of our people are exposed to have been examined. During these periods, the importance of mass media such as radio and television was emphasized. Starting from the beginning of the period when radio and television were single-channel, it was explained how our Turkish Music came to the present day, with the multi-channel mass media following each other, how to run the competition.
It was stated that the first Turkish Music Conservatory, which was established in Istanbul in 1975, is important for living under the roof of the state, that our music is one of the most valuable elements of our cultural values, and that we have a very valuable treasure such as classical Turkish Music and Turkish Folk Music.
In the conclusion part, we tried to explain our thoughts and recommendations such as what kind of way should be followed in order to spread and keep our national music protections alive, what kind of music policy should be followed, which institutions should cooperate in these needs.
