<span lang="EN-US">Democracy, a lifestyle as much as it is a form of government, begins to be learned in the family. The youth observe and acquire the democratic attitudes of their parents. The task of passing it on to the new generations and helping them acquire democratic values is the mission of schools, namely teachers. It is a commonly known fact that developmental level of countries shows parallelism with the democratic attitudes of individuals. It is important to understand the democratic perceptions and attitudes of teachers who are responsible for positioning democratic structure and thus raising the democratic level of countries. For this reason, the research aims to examine the democratic perceptions and attitudes of music teacher candidates in terms of some variables. Data collected using the democratic attitude scale were analyzed using t-test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results showed that attitude scores did not change according to gender, level of parents’ education or the year students were in. Scale scores were negatively correlated with the amount of parents’ income. There was no correlation between the students’ GPAs and the scale scores. Music teaching requires a democratic environment intrinsically; therefore, the democratic perceptions and attitudes of the music teacher candidates who will carry out the music lessons in which they should maintain the democratic environment must be determined. As aforementioned notions suggest, this study is of the essence since the results will shed light on the academic staff in the institutions that train music teachers.</span>
<p>In the music education curriculum, which is implemented from 2017-2018 academic year, the directive for teaching values was prepared for the first time. In this context, the research was conducted by comparing the attitudes of pre-service music teachers towards values education in terms of some variables, which will be included in the courses of value education according to the new music education curriculum. Data collected using the values education attitude scale were analysed using t-test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results showed that attitude scores did not change according to gender or level of parents’ education but had a significant difference according to the year students were in. Scale scores were not correlated with the amount of parents’ income or students’ GPAs. This study is crucial as it tries to determine the attitudes of pre-service music teachers who are assigned as music teachers in a few years and will conduct music lessons according to the Ministry of National Education music curriculum. Moreover, it aims to shed light on the determination of targets for values education in the training of pre-service music teachers in the institutions that train music teachers with the help of the results that this study offers.</p>
The violin is a fretless instrument. Due to this reason, in violin education producing a good quality sound, which is known as ocess is essential. Especially during the beginning of violin education and also in the development phases, being unable to acquire the ability to produce the appropriate sound in the left hand is one of the most significant problems for some students. For this specific reason, it is assumed that during both phases, exercises and etudes written in maqam might facilitate the acquisition of the target behaviours and overcome the mentioned problem.The present study aims to introduce maqams that facilitate the acquisition of some certain behaviour in violin education, and also exercises, etudes and pieces appropriate to these maqams. In addition, it is aimed to discuss the usability of these exercises, etudes and pieces in violin education. In this research, firstly behaviours that are needed to be acquired in the left hand is determined and the musical characteristics of the maqams that are foresight to be used as a material to help students acquire the determined behaviours are analyzed. Maqams that are foreseen to be appropriate and used are also explained. Etudes and exercises that were written with the determined maqams are introduced. Moreover, the degree of the contribution of these behaviours to the development of the students that are will be discussed.The study is considered important in introducing and spreading the traditional music that reflects the rich culture of Turkey and is suggested to be used in violin education.
