Abstract
Six-hands piano literature has several places in music education. It is thought that these pieces can be effective material for teaching piano and chamber music as well as for stage experience. ‘What is the place of six-hands piano literature in piano education in Turkey?’ as a research question was investigated. Six piano educators were interviewed with semi-structured questions, and the results were analysed with the N-Vivo 11 Qualitative Research Program. According to the answers the six piano educators and performers gave to the semi-structured interview questions, six-hands piano pieces are colourful, enjoyable piano literature for playing, and six-hands piano literature should be used in a more widespread manner by composing new pieces and by appearing in the piano and chamber music curriculum.
