Ses kaynakları, sesin oluşumu, seslerin farklı amaçlarla kullanımı, insan sesi ve çeşitleri, insan seslerinin müzik eserlerinde kullanımı da edindiği diğer deneyimler arasında yerini almıştır. İnsan sesinin müzik eserlerinde kullanımının etkili ve ahenkli ürünler oluşturması ile sesin eğitimi daha da fazla önem kazanmış ve ses eğitimcileri tarafından farklı amaçlarla insan sesleri eğitilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada, ses eğitimi derslerini yürütmekte olan öğretim elemanlarının ses eğitimi derslerine ilişkin görüşlerinin ne olduğu araştırma probleminden yola çıkılmış, ses eğitimi derslerinin öğretim elemanları temelinde mevcut durumunun incelenmesi, tespit edilen durumlarla ilgili olarak öneriler sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
