The purpose of this study is to determine evaluations and recommendations of the students, who took distance education in the spring semester of 2019-2020 in the music departments of fine arts, about this education and training process, and to develop suggestions for solving the problems experienced. In line with this purpose, the research universe is composed of music departments of fine arts faculties of universities in Turkey, and the sample consists of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students studying in Music and Performing Arts at Nevsehir Hacı Bektas Veli University, Faculty of Fine Arts. In order to evaluate music department courses with distance education in terms of learning-teaching process, 24 students were interviewed using a semi-structured observation form consisting of 14 questions for students of music department. In the data collection and analysis of the research, the obtained data were evaluated by using descriptive content analysis technique. In line with the findings obtained from the interviews with the students of the music department, it was concluded that web-based distance education is not as efficient as face-to-face education especially in applied courses, the connection and technical problems experienced during the courses negatively affect the education process, there should be attendance requirement in distance education courses and students with limited opportunities should be provided necessary technological support, and the students want to continue their education as face-to-face in the post-pandemic period.
Motor lateralization is viewed as anatomical or functional asymmetry of the two sides of the body. Functional motor asymmetry can be influenced by musical practice. This study explored whether piano playing experience modulates motor asymmetry and leads to an altered pattern of hand selection, reflecting an altered handedness. We asked two groups of right-handed participants—piano players and non-piano players—to reach targets in their frontal space with both arms, and we tested the motor performance of each arm on this task and then on an arm preference test. As musical practice can decrease motor asymmetry between arms, we hypothesized that participants with piano playing experience would display less interlimb asymmetry and that this, in turn, would change their arm preference pattern, compared with participants without piano playing experience. We found support for both hypotheses, and we conclude that arm selection (preference) is not biologically fixed, but, rather, can be modulated through long-term piano playing.
Through the history, human beings have believed in the educational function of music and placed a great importance on music as an educational tool. Music education, which increases individuals’ achievement, imagination and brain development levels, aims at providing the individuals with the positive qualities to be introduced to the society. Through music, which is an important dimension of education, individuals will not only be raised to be knowledgeable only in a single field, but also to be versatile individuals who could keep up with the rapid development of today’s societies.It has gained more importance to raise versatile individuals with academic, personal and social aspects in today’s university education in which the professional development goal is emphasized. Music education is one of the most appropriate fields for the view of raising versatile individuals. As known, music is a versatile phenomenon with its various functions and individual, social, cultural and educational features. Considering those aspects, it was aimed that elective music courses given in universities show effect on anxiety, self-efficacy and stress levels of the students who take this course. In order to determine the effect of elective music courses in university programs on anxiety, general self-efficacy and stress management levels of the students who take this course, an experimental study was implemented using the pre- and post-test models. Experiment and control groups were composed of 242 students from 8 grade levels studying in Health Services Vocational College and Health College in Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University during the 2015-2016 education year, dividing them into two groups. The data obtained after the 12-week music education were tabulated and interpreted through appropriate SPSS programs.As a result of the study, it was found that the state-trait anxiety levels of individuals who had the music education were lower than the levels of individuals who didn’t have this education, that there was a positive effect of having the music education on individuals’ skills of self-efficacy and stress management, and that there was an improvement in those skills. It was also found that the music education has a significant impact on decreasing the state-trait anxiety levels, and increasing the self-efficacy and stress-management skills. Özetİnsanlık tarih boyunca müziğin eğitici işlevine inanmış olup müziğe bir eğitim aracı olarak önemli bir yer ayırmıştır. Bireylerin başarılı olmalarını, hayal gücünü ve beyin gelişimini arttıran müzik eğitimi bireylere, topluma kazandıracağı olumlu niteliklerin verilmesini amaçlar. Eğitimin önemli bir boyutu olan müzik ile bireyler sadece bir alanda bilgilenmiş olarak değil, günümüz toplumlarının hızlı gelişimine de ayak uydurabilecek ve çok yönlü bireyler olarak yetişeceklerdir.Mesleki gelişim amacına ağırlık verilen günümüz üniversite eğitiminde akademik, kişisel ve sosyal yönleri ile çok yönlü bireyler yetiştirilmesi daha çok önem kazanmıştır. Müzik eğitimi, çok yönlü bireyler yetiştirilmesi anlayışına en uygun alanlardan birini oluşturmaktadır. Bilindiği gibi müzik bireysel, toplumsal, kültürel, ekonomik ve eğitimsel nitelikleri ile birçok işlevi olan çok yönlü bir olgudur. Bu yönleri ile bakıldığında müzik eğitimi vermeyi amaçlayan üniversitelerdeki uygulanan seçmeli müzik dersleri de öğrencilerin müziksel algılama yeteneğini ve müzik yaşamını yüksek düzeyde geliştirecektir. Bu durumdan yola çıkarak üniversitelerde verilen seçmeli müzik derslerinin bu dersi alan öğrenciler üzerinde kaygı, öz yeterlik ve stres durumlarında ki etkiyi ortaya çıkarması amaçlanmıştır. Üniversitesi programlarında yer alan seçmeli müzik derslerinin bu dersi alan öğrenciler üzerinde kaygı, genel öz yeterlik ve stres yönetimi düzeylerine etkisini belirlemek üzere deneysel bir çalışma yapılarak ön test son test modeli tercih edilmiştir. Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesi Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksek Okulu ve Sağlık Yüksekokulu 2015–2016 eğitim öğretim yılında öğrenim gören 8 sınıftan ve 242 öğrenciden oluşan çalışma grubu ikiye bölünerek deney ve kontrol grupları oluşturulmuştur. 12 haftalık müzik eğitimi sonucunda elde edilen veriler uygun spss programları ile tablolaştırılarak yorumlanmıştır.Araştırma sonucunda müzik eğitimi alan bireylerin durumluk ve sürekli kaygı düzeylerinin müzik dersi almayan bireylere göre daha düşük olduğu, bireylerin öz yeterlik ve stres yönetim becerilerinde müzik eğitimi almalarının pozitif yönde bir etkisi olduğu ve bu becerilerinde artış olduğu görülmüştür. Durumluk ve sürekli kaygının azalması, öz yeterlik ve stres yönetim becerilerinin artmasında müzik eğitimin önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Education methods to be used in the emotional, mental and psychological development of instrument education are of great importance in terms of education process. In this context, the training habits and self-efficacy developments of the students with their instruments can be supported by the accompaniment education process, thus increasing the performance of the instruments. In this context, an experimental method was used in the research by using piano accompaniment training practice, individual instrument training habits and instrument performance self-efficacy belief questionnaires. Pre-test-post-test pattern of this method was preferred. The study was carried out with 9 students who studied flute in Nevsehir Hacı Bektas Veli University music department. After the experiment process, the scores of the groups were reached by using T-test. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the application of piano accompaniment in flute education has a positive effect on all sub-dimensions of both questionnaires. In addition, it was determined that students use time in a disciplined and productive way, develop themselves in terms of musicality, see themselves more adequate with the positive progress of the psychological effects of this development, and increase their love for their instrument and desire to work. Keywords: Instrument education, flute education, piano accompaniment, training habits, self-efficacy developments;
