In musical instrument training, piano has been
taught as a compulsory instrument in all departments of Music Education. It is
thought that as a major instrument, piano plays a crucial role in music
education. Without question, it is highly vital to raise individuals' awareness
of learning styles towards learning piano in effort to practice piano courses
more efficiently and effectively. In this respect, the present study is of
utmost importance as it will be a pioneer study and make a great deal of contributions
to the relevant field. The current study was designed to develop a valid and
reliable scale. The population of the study consisted of 170 music teacher
candidates majoring in Music Education, including those who already took piano
lessons. Although the study successfully accessed to the whole sample, only 133
scales were included to the research, due to inaccurate or incomplete data in
subjects’ responses. To test the construct validity of the scale, explanatory
factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used. The
original scale consists of  four
sub-dimensions, namely, independent, analytical, dependent and affective
learning styles.
