The study data were collected using a student opinion form, a knowledge acquisition test, a performance evaluation form and teacher interview questions.After the data collection tools were administered, the researcher used criterion sampling to select seven students out of those who gave the most affirmative answers to the student opinion form and worked with them in the qualitative dimension of the study. The study results showed that students' musical reading (solfège) skills were weaker than their musical writing (dictation) skills. Since musical writing is a synthesis of more complex behaviors including hearing, naming and expresses voices with music writing, it was found that students had serious incompetencies in naming musical hearing. In general, the students had low opinions about their own competencies. A majority of the students who felt competent and were selected for practice were particularly incompetent in musical reading and writing.
