This article provides a scientific exploration of the development of the Shashmaqom art form within the cultural environment of the Bukhara Emirate. The research examines the historical origins, performance practices, and pedagogical significance of Shashmaqom in the ustoz–shogird (master–student) tradition. It highlights the role of court musicians, their influence on musical aesthetics, and the continuing relevance of Shashmaqom in contemporary international music culture. Drawing upon the works of leading scholars such as Rasulov (2025), Abdinabiyevna (2024), and Karimova (2025), the study analyzes the fusion of artistic, spiritual, and social values that shaped this classical musical heritage.
