Abstract

Part-time-music-education has been implemented in State Conservatories in Turkey for a long time. The aim is not only to support full-time-education, but also to spread classical music and increase the number of full-time students. The Music Department of State Conservatory of Anadolu University in Eskişehir/Turkey has adopted and incorporated this system starting the first year it was established. In this study, the efficiency of the part-time instrument education program, which was opened as a preparation for full-time instrument training, has been investigated. The data of the study came from a survey conducted with the participation of the instructors teaching at the same institute. The results of the study revealed that the effective application of the part-time instrument training curriculum increased the success rate in full-time instrument training. It has also been observed that the part-time instrument training program has been beneficial for the education process of students attending full-time instrument education.
