In addition, when Otep Kurbanbayev performed the song "Bizge kel" written to the lyrics of Aymurat Abdimuratov, his listeners were especially impressed. For example, even when guests from neighboring fraternal countries came to our country, the song "Bizge kel" was constantly played on the air.[1.13] The widespread popularity of Kenesbay Abdullayev's songs is his deep knowledge of folk musical heritage. The performance of contemporary works by the composer testifies to his remarkable talent. He composed his works to the words of such poets as Kunhoji "Bizge kel", Ajiniyaz "Bir pariy" and "Jaqsi", I.Kurbanbayev "Elim bar" and "Xalqim", G.Yesemuratova "Tuuǵan jerge" and "Qaraqalpaq qizlari bar", S.Pirzhanov "Qaharman xalqim", S.Davletaliyev "Doslar shaqiraman dasturkhanima", K.Dosanov "Bilgin kеlsе xalqin qaraqalpaqting", I.Yusupov "Intizar sagan" and T.Matmuratov "Sen ozing". [1.25] Kenesbay Abdullayev is the founder of the bayan and accordion school in Karakalpakstan. He writes many works for the bayan and for the bayanists' orchestra.

While working as a teacher at the music school, he taught young people the bayan instrument and created the first Karakalpak bayan orchestra here. Today, his students have reached the level of mentors and are working in all cultural institutions and music schools of our republic. The students continue the path laid by the teacher. Kenesbay Abdullayev, wherever and in whatever work he worked, was a sincere person, devoted to his work, and approached his duties with responsibility. Kenesbay Abdullayev, who worked in the radio committee, was the first composer to transcribe and restore many folk and author's melodies to musical notation. Because there was a music library next to the folk instrument ensemble. Whenever someone came and asked, "Are there any notes for the original version of this or that song and how can we find them?" you could find the notes in the library where they were stacked. Most talented people create their very first path by imitating someone. Kenesbay Abdullayev proved himself by creating his own original melodies, his own path that no one had walked before. Even after 60 years, his musical works continue to live in people's hearts, becoming the favorite songs of singers, never leaving their repertoire. In our time, people even consider some of these melodies folk. Most importantly, he created pleasant melodies that appealed to both young and old. Kenesbay Abdullayev was born in 1938 in the family of a civil servant in the "Taza Zhol" village council of Chimbay district. His father, Abdulla Jaksimuratov, held the title of Honored Teacher of the Uzbek SSR and worked as a school teacher from 1929 to 1957. His mother was a housewife and took care of her children's upbringing.[2.44] 141 AMERICAN Journal of Language, Literacy and Learning in STEM Education www. grnjournal.us His childhood was significantly easier during those difficult times. When he was studying in elementary school, a music club organized at a children's boarding school near his home caught his interest. His passion for music was so strong that he would secretly attend a club at that children's boarding school, and sometimes even lied, saying, "I am a pupil of this boarding school". In 1951, after graduating from the 7th grade, he entered the Berdaq School in Chimbay. During his studies, he participated in drama clubs and played various instruments in many concerts. In 1955, he graduated from a pedagogical college and worked as a teacher in a secondary school. In 1956-61, he studied at the Hamza Music College in Tashkent in the bayan class. His first teacher, Arkady Efremovich Pushkin, while teaching him to play the bayan, introduced him to the works of European classical, Russian composers. After graduating from the music school in 1961, he began working as a teacher in the folk section of the bayan class at the music and choreography school in the city of Nukus. He created a bayanist orchestra there (1962). Having created a bayanist orchestra, he made many arrangements for the orchestra for the works of Russian and European composers. Along with this, he also writes adaptations of Karakalpak folk melodies. [3.54] In 1965, he was elected Deputy Director for Academic Affairs at the school. In 1967, K. Abdullayev entered the correspondence department of the Nukus Pedagogical Institute. Taking into account the successful educational and upbringing work of K.Abdullayev at the music and choreography school and his creative achievements, in 1966 he was appointed artistic director of the Berdakh State Philharmonic. Here, selecting repertoires in consultation with poets, he makes significant changes to improve performers, singers, and actors. At the philharmonic, he created the first professional pop orchestra of Karakalpakstan, and wrote many of his works and arrangements of folk songs for this orchestra. As examples, we can cite such songs as: "Bulbulinmen sayrag’an" and "Qarama jigit" to the lyrics of J.Aymurzayev, "Bir pariy" to the lyrics of Ajiniyaz, and "Intizar sagan" to the lyrics of Ibrayim Yusupov. Thus, he became one of the founders of the pop orchestra in Karakalpakstan, composing music for it. From the late 70s until the end of his life, he worked as the artistic director and chief conductor of the folk orchestra at the Karakalpak State Radio and Television. He passed away on December 6, 1994, after a serious illness.[4.12] Thus, Kenesbay Abdullayev made an invaluable contribution to the development of Karakalpakstan's bayan art and vocal genre songs, combining folk music traditions with contemporary performance trends. His activities contributed not only to the popularization of the bayan as a solo and ensemble instrument but also to the expansion of its technical and artistic possibilities. Thanks to Abdullayev, the region's storytelling acquired a new level of professionalism, and his students and followers 142 AMERICAN Journal of Language, Literacy and Learning in STEM Education www. grnjournal.us continue to develop the traditions he laid. The musician's creative legacy remains an important part of the musical culture of Karakalpakstan and serves as an inspiration for future generations of performers. Literature 1.
