Darülelhan
Darülelhan’s importance in the art life of Turkey comes from institutionalising of music as a way of systematic and methodical education. The administrators of the period were interested in forming such an institution in the days of the First World War. So they found a delayed compulsory requirement in the musical life of the country. Darülelhan was registered and took its place in the history of culture as the first serious institution to vacate the shortage of the art world in Turkey.
