A general overview of the history of music education in turks

Music Education is a difficult concept to define because it is an ongoing phenomenon from the birth of the individual and has political, social, cultural and individual dimensions in the same place. If we remember the most common definitions; It is a training process that encompasses all the social processes that are effective in helping individuals gain the standards, beliefs and ways of living of society. It is all of the processes in which the person has developed the skills, attitudes and other forms of behavior that are of value in society. It is a social process that provides social competence and optimum individual development under the influence of a selected and controlled environment (especially school). Music Education is a planned action sequence that helps people to develop their behavior according to predetermined principles. We can say that music education is the process of bringing change to the behavior of the individual intentionally through his own experience. Music education is defined as a musical behavior development process (1997: 14) by Flying, "basically giving a musical behavior, changing a musical behavior or making a musical behavior change".
