Abstract
This study aims to evaluate how well undergraduate music education students can perform melodies from the Ministry of National Education’s middle school music textbooks for grades 5 through 8, using instruments they learned in the school instruments course offered at various grade levels. Additionally, the research examines students' perspectives on the school instruments course, with a focus on baglama and guitar instruction. Designed as a single-case study within a qualitative research framework, the study involved 13 fourth-year undergraduate students from the Department of Music Education at a state university's Faculty of Fine Arts Education. These participants were selected through criterion sampling, a purposive sampling method, and had successfully completed the school instruments course. Data collection included a performance rating rubric and a semi-structured interview form, both developed by the researchers and validated by experts. Performance assessments were conducted by two field experts. Data from the rating rubric were analyzed using scores and averages, while interview data were analyzed through descriptive content analysis. The results showed that students generally held positive attitudes toward the course, but their performance levels were comparatively low.
