In the second phase, the literature related to the subject were reviewed within the scope of the determined headline, interval studies which was written in accordance with the specified curriculum titles, etudes and sample musical pieces selected from the TRT Repertoire, were described and evaluated with a relational perspective. According to these descriptions; it is concluded that even today, the lack of systematic studies on instrument training reduces the quality of education which is still given, leading to irregularity and time loss in learning process, and that Mey is an instrument on which fixed notes are not available due to the structural features, but it can be playable for the performers as a result of having an improved hearing and mastery of the instrument. In this context, the third phase of the research includes the theoretical and performance-based contents of the proposed curriculum titles which were determined to be appropriate for each class; resources, interval studies, etudes and sample works considering the four-year undergraduate education of Mey. Thus, the mastery of the instrument of the students is anticipated to come to the expected level. With the aim of preventing the instrument from extinction and increasing the number of performers of the traditional folk instrument Mey, It is recommended to increase the systematic studies on the subject.
