GENERAL
The Conservatory (Music School) started its activities in 1998 as a personal establishment as a support for Turkish and Oriental music. Being the first conservatory in Europe that offers education in Turkish classical music, Turkish folk music and Turkish pop music requires a lot of effort. In addition, a Department has been opened since 2007, where Young people receive vocational training on the production of Turkish and oriental stringed instruments.
Des Weiteren existiert seit 2007 der Zupfinstrumentenbaubereich für türkische und orientalische Instrumente, bei der junge Menschen für den Beruf des Zupfinstrumentenmachers ausgebildet werden.

Always forward thinking, Halime Karademirli, moved to Berlin alone on October 13, 1972 at the age of 18.

With the guidance and support of Professor Dr. Aladdin Yavasca, together with her husband and oud artist Nuri Karademirli, who is highly appreciated in Berlin, they realized their dream and opened the Conservatory of Turkish Music in Berlin on September 23, 1998.
This valuable school, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year, remains the only Turkish private art school in all of Europe.
