Turkish music has a maqam structure. For this reason, there are many makams in Turkish music. The way of learning maqams is of two types: theoretical (theoretical) and practical (application), and the scientific aspects are learned through theoretical studies, and this learning is reinforced with practical studies. In theory, the scales form the framework of the maqams. Scales, on the other hand, consist of formulaic fourths and fifths, consisting of different melodic intervals and named after the starting pitch. Due to their influence on maqam formations, fourths and fifths form the basis of Turkish music maqams. Fourths and fifths, which have gained distinction in Turkish music due to their vital importance, became the focus of attention of this research and were ultimately taken as a model for analysis. This study, which aims to learn and reinforce the flavors related to both theoretical and practical approaches, is important in terms of correctly understanding and explaining the quadruplets and pentads. Although they were discussed and examined in different theoretical studies under the title of edvar centuries ago, these flavors, which are the foundations of Turkish music theory, are used by today's Turkish music members as they are transferred in the Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek theoretical system. Therefore, the theoretical limitation of this study was determined by the Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek theoretical system, and the study method was continued with etudes written on fourths and fifths. It is thought that this study will shed light on other studies that follow the path of learning Turkish music focused on theory and practice.
