Researchers tend to neglect studying World Music from a Middle Eastern perspective. They compare the music of the world to the Western Music Theory standards.
"I came up with the idea once I knew that I had access to a radio station as part of the university's facilities. I wanted to present World Music from a Middle Eastern perspective."
"I submitted the project concept and plan as a personal initiative that was not part of my assigned responsibilities. Three months of research and preparation, followed by sparse reservations of the studio. Despite the radio station's overwhelming schedule, I persisted in planning studio reservations. The entire project took me four months to finish."
