Therefore, there is a need for individuals who can keep up with the changes in the world and act appropriately when necessary. It is aimed that individuals produce new information by synthesizing it instead of consuming it. In this study, qualitative data collection was carried out using the content analysis technique. The data obtained were evaluated using the descriptive analysis approach and the effect of the 7E model applied with the constructivist learning method in the field of music education. The study aims to examine student success and effect in Turkish Music violin lessons organized with the constructivist 7E teaching model. The quantitative data of the study were obtained by using the experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Within the scope of this study, Violin Lesson Achievement Test Scale, Attitude Scale and Performance Test pre-test were applied to the experimental and control groups. While teaching activities designed in accordance with the 7E model were applied to the experimental group for 10 weeks, the control group continued the activities in the current program. After the application, Violin Lesson Achievement Test Scale, Attitude Scale and Performance Scale were applied to both groups again. As a result of the Mann Whitney U test analysis, it was determined that the course activities organized in accordance with the 7E teaching model contributed significantly to the success of the students. These results show that the 7E model can be used as an effective teaching method in violin education.
