Summary/Abstract: If we look at the general Turkic culture of the early Middle Ages, we will see that this culture has made a great contribution to world culture in all areas. Unfortunately, although a lot has been said and written about the culture of Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, China, India, insufficient attention is paid to the study and promotion of the Turkic culture of the ancient and Middle Ages. The history of the rich musical culture of the Azerbaijani people dates back to ancient times. In this regard, the rock paintings of Gamigay and Gobustan, as well as the epos "Kitabi-Dede Gorgud" provide complete information about the ancient musical culture of our people, including the pan-Turkic people. The general Turkic scholars of the early Middle Ages, especially Farabi, Ibni Sina, Nizami Ganjavi, Safieddin Urmavi and others, had valuable ideas about music theory, and our article also studied the ideas of these wise personalities about music and musical education. Farabi is the first music scholar who systematically wrote a book about music theory in Turkish music history
