The aim of this study is to determine the relationships between pre-service music teachers’general
self-esteem levels and attitudes towards instrumental practice and their personal characteristics such
as gender, age, high school from which they graduated and university at which they took music
education. The sample of this study consisted of 424 (n=424) pre-service music teachers at Adnan
Menderes University, Dokuz Eylül University, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Çanakkale 18 Mart
University and Pamukkale University. Data were collected using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
(Çuhadaroğlu, 1986) and The Attitude Scale Towards İnstrumental Practice (Özmenteş, 2007). It has
been observed that pre-service music teachers have high levels of self-esteem and middle level
attitudes towards instrumental practice and while there is positive but low level relationship
between their self-esteem and attitudes towards instrumental practice, there is no significant
relationship between their self-esteem and attitudes towards instrumental practice and their age,
gender and the type of high school from which they graduated. After all, there was a significant
relationship between their self-esteem and attitudes towards instrumental practice and their grade
levels. No significant relationships were found between pre-service music teachers’ general selfesteem
and their musical instruments when they chose them voluntarily, but significant
relationships were found between their attitudes towards instrumental practice and their musical
instruments when thewy did not choose them voluntarily
