Study studies on the problems encountered in instrumental works performed on the kazun instrument, Afyon Kocatepe University example

This research aims to solve the difficulties encountered in instrumental works performed with the qanun instrument by offering etude suggestions and to contribute positively to students in the way of teaching additional analysis studies. The research was based on a mixed model using qualitative and quantitative data. In the qualitative part of the research, ten works were randomly selected from fifty works included in the qanun instrument teaching at Afyon Kocatepe University State Conservatory Turkish Music Department, and six experts were asked to choose five works out of ten by preparing a semi-structured interview form. Opinions were received on issues such as in which sections etudes could be written for the five works collected in the common set, the importance of frets in the maqam context, plectrum order, latch change, and ensuring the integrity of the work. In the quantitative section, five works identified in the interview form were given to students studying law in "Undergraduate 1", "Undergraduate" 2, "Undergraduate 3", "Undergraduate 4" and their performances were video recorded by applying the pre-test-post-test experimental model. After the status of the studies prepared to eliminate the difficulties encountered in the pre-test were evaluated again by six experts, the studies were given to the students to be applied. After the final test, a five-point Likert-type performance rating scale was developed along with the recorded videos and sent to five experts to monitor the student's success. The arithmetic mean of the data obtained was calculated and the performance levels of the students were interpreted with graphs. As a result of the research; It has been determined that the studies written to eliminate the difficulties identified based on the works contribute positively to the success of the students in the way of education. It is thought that this study will be an exemplary model for carrying out this study with different instruments.
