Özet

Although the problems in early childhood music education (ECME) have been addressed in many scientific studies around the world, the fact that the problem is still among the issues for which solutions are still sought in current studies suggests that a permanent solution has not yet been found. The main purpose of this study, which is designed as a qualitative case study, is to propose a master's degree program that is believed to be a solution to the current problems in the field of early childhood music education (ECME) in Turkey. In line with that, a master's program proposal for ECME specialization education was developed in line with the Turkish Higher Education Qualifications Framework (THEQF), existing information in national and international literature, and participant opinions.
