“…Beginning and advancing step-by-step with sight reading lessons below students' levels is a point to be taken into consideration in an accurate and rigorous study process. Babacan (2014) analyzed music teacher candidates in the study of piano educatiom. Babacan reached the conclusion that music teacher candidates practiced the studying principles before and through the sight reading process in a weak way.…”

This study was conducted to analyze the effects of regular sight reading studies of classical guitar students on their sight reading and their performance of classical guitar. In the research, experimental method was used with a pretest-posttest control and experimental group. The application process was carried out with 14 undergraduate students studying Music and Fine Arts Education Department from Marmara University. In the study groups, 7 students from the individual instrument training course made up the experimental group (n=7) and another 7 students from the individual instrument training made up the control group (n=7). Data were collected using "The Guitar Performance Grading Scale" and "The Sight Reading Performance Evaluation Scale". The study included a 10-week experimental process. The process was carried out within 1 week of pretest evaluations by a jury of experts, 8 weeks of individual guitar enstrument training performed by the researcher and 1 week of posttest evaluations by the jury. The data obtained was analyzed after the application and interpreted by statistical techniques. In the application that was done with the groups to analyze the influence of a regular sight reading practice upon sight reading skills, a significant difference was found between the experimental and control group posttest "Sight Reading Performance Evaluation Scale" scores in favor of the experimental group. In the other application done to analyze the influence of a regular sight reading practice upon classical guitar performance, a significant difference was found between experimental and control group in favor of experimental group "Guitar Performance Grading Scale" posttest scores. According to the findings, it has been concluded that the education given to the experimental group in the research positively influenced and improved the sight reading skills and classical guitar performances of the students; thus, various suggestions were given on the subject.

This study examined the opinions of the students and piano instructors in the Turkish Education Faculties' Fine Arts Instruction Departments' music instruction programs about piano instruction. The study data were collected using a questionnaire administered to the piano instructors and the students who took lessons from them. The study results indicated that the piano lesson should be included in the whole undergraduate process to achieve the target behaviors. Regarding the content of piano lessons, the piano instructors emphasized that the lesson content should be increased to improve piano playing skills, develop deciphering, teach technical and musical skills, improve its usability in the teaching profession, impart a broader piano instruction, and teach students about the piano repertoire of all periods in history. The study found that the instructors and students also emphasized the importance of a piece's harmonic structure, tonality, and tonal context as well as its form, sentences, divisions, and musical language regarding the improvement of technique and musicality when studying musical works (for example, etudes, sonatinas and sonatas). Another study finding showed that the most difficult lessons, according to the instructors and students, were chord clusters with three and four consecutive notes, using two techniques with two hands (for example, legato with one hand and staccato with the other) and finger numbers.Key words: Music instruction, music instructor, piano instruction, piano instructor. INTRODUCTIONEducation plays a major role in directing and advancing societies.

In music instruction, pre-service music teachers learn how to distinguish musical sounds and how to hear them in ear training, how to use their voices in the most effective and accurate way in voice training, and learn about their instruments in addition to the necessary playing skills in instrument training.Instrument training requires students to work carefully and in a planned and disciplined way, and make E-mail: beste@balikesir.edu.tr.Authors agree that this article remain permanently open access under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 International License sacrifices.
