Abstract

 This study examines the specific pedagogical features of teaching traditional nay performance in higher music education, focusing on the Shashmaqom instrumental paths as a case study. The research aims to explore how innovative teaching methods can be integrated with traditional oral transmission practices to enhance student learning outcomes. The nay, one of the oldest wind instruments in Central Asian culture, carries a deep connection to the spiritual and modal system of the Maqom heritage. Using observation, interview, and experimental instruction methods, the research analyzes the effectiveness of newly developed strategies in improving students’ performance accuracy, intonation stability, and interpretative understanding of the Shashmaqom modes. The study contributes to the field of ethnomusicological pedagogy by offering a systematic model for teaching traditional instruments in higher education.
