The aim of this study is to develop a structured music curriculum based on the Kodály approach to support the objectives of preschool music education. The research was conducted using a basic interpretative qualitative research design. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with fourteen participants who are experts in music education and early childhood development, as well as through literature review. The data collected was examined using descriptive analysis. As a result of the analysis, basic musical behaviors that need to be acquired in the preschool period were determined. These behaviors were classified into four main themes: singing skills, rhythmic skills, internal feeling and recognition of musical concepts. Thirty outcomes were created based on these themes. The Kodály approach provides a multi-sensory teaching model that includes songs in mother tongue, body movements, and solfeggio, which helps children establish a natural and holistic connection with music. Twelve original lesson plans were prepared for preschool children, incorporating the outcomes created from these themes. The plans were structured with a focus on learning outcomes and were designed to guide music teachers in practice. The research findings indicated that a curriculum designed around the Kodály approach could be developed to incorporate themes such as singing, rhythmic skills, internal perception, recognition of musical concepts. This comprehensive approach would effectively enhance children's musical development in various aspects. The study demonstrates that the Kodály approach is applicable in the context of Turkey and offers a culturally significant contribution to the field of early childhood music education, both theoretically and practically.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, okulöncesi müzik eğitiminin amaçlarını desteklemek üzere Kodály yaklaşımına dayalı yapılandırılmış bir müzik öğretim programı geliştirmektir. Araştırma, temel yorumlayıcı nitel araştırma desenine göre yürütülmüştür. Veriler, müzik eğitimi ve erken çocukluk gelişimi alanlarında uzmanlaşmış on dört katılımcıyla yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ve literatür taraması yoluyla toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler betimsel analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, okulöncesi dönemde kazandırılması gereken temel müziksel davranışlar belirlenmiştir. Bu davranışlar şarkı söyleme becerisi, ritmik beceriler, içsel duyuş ve müziksel kavramları tanıma olmak üzere dört ana tema altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu temalar doğrultusunda otuz kazanım oluşturulmuştur. Kodály yaklaşımı, çocukların müzikle doğal ve bütüncül bir bağ kurmasını destekleyen, ana dilde şarkılar, bedensel hareket ve solfej temelli çok duyulu bir öğretim modeli sunmaktadır. Bu temalar doğrultusunda oluşturulan kazanımları içeren, okulöncesi çocuklara yönelik on iki özgün ders planı hazırlanmıştır. Planlar kazanım odaklı olarak yapılandırılmış ve müzik öğretmenlerine uygulamada yol gösterecek nitelikte tasarlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, çocukların müziksel gelişimlerini çok yönlü biçimde destekleyecek bir bakış açısı ile Kodály yaklaşımına dayalı olarak şarkı söyleme, ritmik beceriler, içsel duyuş, müziksel kavramları tanıma temaları çerçevesinde bir öğretim programı tasarısının oluşturulabileceği belirlenmiştir. Çalışma, Kodály yaklaşımının Türkiye bağlamında uygulanabilir olduğunu göstermekte; erken çocukluk dönemi müzik eğitimi alanına hem kuramsal hem de uygulamalı düzeyde kültürel açıdan anlamlı bir katkı sunmaktadır.
