 Results:

Nobody seems to like studying the recorder in Turkey Or as the author puts it: “…prospective music teachers do not love School Musical Instruments (Recorder) courses enough; they do not take interest in these courses; they do not enjoy participating in these courses; and they fear these courses.”

He cites Kivrak: “There is a very serious tuning problem despite what is said. /…/ it is clear that a serious sound clarity problem will be experienced in collective playing activities when it is considered that the students in the learning stage cannot maintain breath control even though tuning is performed for each musical instrument.”

Conclusion:

– Curriculums of School Musical Instruments (Recorder) courses must be revised by the relevant academicians.

– It is recommended giving auditory examples related to the recorder in School Musical Instruments (Recorder) courses
