Summary/Abstract: In this study, research techniques of music, one of the forms of behaviour and symbols which reveal our culture that consumes our society, will be dealt with. Music isn't not only a voice system, but also a combination of behaviour which is formed by an ethnologic structure. As long as the principles and expectation of that culture isn't fully understood, it will never be understood why the composer uses this kind of composing technique. Every research technique has an inner-dynamic and priciples which are suitable for the aim. The datum which will make the relationship between societ-culture and music clear is only reached by the principles of music ethnography.
