Although the health area is partially prepared for the process due to its natural structure, many difficulties are encountered. This process, in which all aspects of the education field are caught unprepared, are tried to be overcome with as little damage as possible. In this process, higher education levels of education try to manage the process by putting their distance education systems into use urgently. Although students experience individual technical difficulties in the teaching of theoretical courses, they can overcome their deficiencies by watching the repetition of the course. It can be said that there are a lot of problems in the applied areas of art-based programs. Individual instrument lessons in music education is one of these application areas. In addition to theoretical and technical studies, it is thought that the distance education system is not the solution in instrument training based on the master-apprentice tradition by imitating the student’s teacher. In addition to teacher-student cooperation, the current system can be structured by taking such lessons into consideration in order for the process to function properly. In this study, the difficulties that have been observed and experienced since the beginning of the pandemic were tried to be evaluated from a sociological perspective and the difficulties in individual instrument lessons were tried to be defined.}, number={41}, publisher={İdeal Kent Yayınları}
