		Chok-Tal, Kyrgyzstan; 13 October 2005 (RFE/RL) -- One of the most fascinating aspects of the Summer School of Traditional Music in eastern Kyrgyzstan is the way it has brought together ancient musical ideas and teaching methods from different parts of Central Asia.
		The students and teachers there have come from special music schools across Central Asia -- and they are inspiring each other as they try to revive the ancient oral methods of teaching music that had been neglected under the Soviet system.
		Almatov says his school also is using ancient teaching principles where masters called "ustads" pass on the music and legends of Kazakh folklore directly through oral instruction, rather than the modern European method of written notation introduced under the Soviet education system.
