Thus, according to the profiles of learners, we can offer various educational products which will make it possible each one to adapt them according to their needs and their desires. Brochure,music lexicon,the work of "Traditional Instruments",questionnaires and survey results,short films, concert(live performance in Turkey) ,logo etc. are system of educating the professional and volunteer adults at the national and European level. With this project we aim to reach a wide audience; we seek independent music education from space and time. The new ideas and insights will be used for exchange and application in the participating institutions. For example, the method used in one country can be tested in another in order to compare the results and adjust the tool according to the public. This method allows to enhance, federate and unite the experiences during this project. Tools and methods proposed will result inter cultural exchange of experiences, practices and theoretical reflections.
