After the establishment of the Turkish Republic, Turkey's
secularized society disdained the ney, the Sufi reed flute long
associated with Islam. The instrument's remarkable revival in
today's cities has inspired the creation of teaching and learning
sites that range from private ney studios to cultural and religious
associations and from university clubs to mosque organizations.Banu
enay documents the years-long training required to become a
neyzen-a player of the ney. The process holds a transformative
power that invites students to create a new way of living that
involves alternative relationships with the self and others,
changing perceptions of the city, and a dedication to
craftsmanship. enay visits reed harvesters and travels from studios
to workshops to explore the practical processes of teaching and
learning. She also becomes an apprentice ney-player herself,
exploring the desire for spirituality that encourages apprentices
and masters alike to pursue ney music and its scaffolding of
Islamic ethics and belief.
