In this study, thestate anxiety levels of music teacher candidates during their individual musical performances were examined.Observation and interview technique, one of the qualitative research designs, was used as a method in theresearch. The data used in the research were obtained from observations and interviews with a total of 108students in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of undergraduate education in two music education departments.While the behaviours of the students during the midterm and final exams regarding individual instrumentlessons were observed, semi-structured open-ended questions were asked simultaneously, just before andafter the exams, and their views on their anxiety levels were obtained. The obtained data were statistically analyzed with qualitative data analysis and presented in the findings section.
