	Al-Takht
		The takht was considered as a music school, where artists learn the secrets of singing and playing an instrument; it improved their skills, strengthened their voices and improved their technique, instrumentally and vocally.
		In the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, the takht ensemble was considered as the basic of Arabic music.
		The word takht came originally from al-dekkah (a high raised bench), which was used for the singer and his musical group.
