Bu çalışmanın amacı Tekirdağ Namık Kemal Üniversitesi Türk Müziği Devlet Konservatuvarındaki öğrencilerin Batı müziği derslerine yönelik görüşlerini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın yöntemi nitel, deseni ise durum çalışmasıdır. 2021-2022 akademik yılında gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın çalışma grubunu 1, 2 ve 3. sınıfta öğrenim gören 26 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veriler, araştırmacı tarafından oluşturulan açık uçlu sorular ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılarak toplanmış ve içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Analizlerden elde edilen sonuçlar tema ve kategoriler belirlenerek yorumlanmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, çoğu öğrencinin Batı müziği nazariyatı ve piyano derslerine yönelik görüşlerinin olumlu olduğunu, söz konusu derslerin içeriklerini yeterli gördüğünü, ancak ders sürelerini yeterli görmediğini ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca Batı müziği derslerinin Türk müziği derslerine katkı sağladığını, Batı müziği ve piyano derslerinin onlara geleceğe yönelik katkı sağlayacağını ve Türk müziğinde piyanonun eşlik sazı olarak kullanabileceğini ifade etmişlerdir. Söz konusu bulgulardan hareketle, ağırlıklı olarak Türk müziği eğitimi alan konservatuvar öğrencilerinin, Batı müziği ve piyano dersini gerekli gördüğü ve bu dersleri Türk müziği dersleri için destekleyici buldukları söylenebilir. Ayrıca Türk müziği eğitimi alan öğrencilerin çoğunluğu Batı müziği derslerinin onlara mesleki anlamda katkı sağlayacağını düşünmektedir.
