“Nevai, musikimize olan hizmetini yalnızca küyler bestelemekle sınırlandırmamıştır. En büyük musiki üstatlarına ve en yetenekli musiki öğrencilerine eğitim vermeye başlamıştır. Onları bilim yönünden zenginleştirmek için yeni musiki risaleleri yazdırmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Babür Mirza’nın Babürnâme eserinde Üstat Kulmuhammed-ü Şeyh-i Nâyi ve Udî Hüseyin çalgılarında çok iyilerdi. Nevai’nin eğitim ve desteğiyle yükselmiş, ünlenmişlerdir demiştir. Nevai, Hemsetü-l-Müteheyyirîn adlı kitabında Üstad Kulmuhammed’in öğrencilik dönemlerinde çok yetenekli olduğunu ve her şeyi yeniden öğrenerek iyi bir çalma yetisine ulaştığını söylemiştir. Nevai, Üstad Kulmuhammed ve Udî Hüseyin’in musiki hakkında daha fazla teorik bilgiye ulaşmalarını sağlamak için dört büyük üstada, dört tane musiki risalesi yazdırmıştır. Risaleler Fenn-i Ta’lim tarafından uygun görülmediği için son olarak Abdurrahman Cami’ye beşinci risaleyi yazdırdığını eserinde not etmiştir.”

“Doğu musikisi âlimleri nağmelerin birbirleriyle olan ilintilerini çıkış noktalarıyla olan ilişkilerine göre belirlerlerdi. Nağmelerin çıkış yerleri insanın gırtlağıdır; fakat musikişinaslar gırtlak nağmelerini notaya alamadıkları için nağme örneklerini olduğu gibi çalgı üzerine aktarmışlardır. Nağmelerin çıkış yerlerini çalgı üzerinde ince hesaplarla zor bir şekilde belirlemişler ve her birini bir harfle göstermişlerdir. Böylece belirlenen seslerin çıkış noktalarını musikinin perdeleri gibi adlandırmışlardır. Musikişinaslarımızın perdeleri belirlemek için sarf ettiği büyük emekleri gören bir kişi doğu musikisinin bilimsel temeli yoktur diyen “ukalalara” karşı kendini gülmekten alıkoyamaz.”
