Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the relationships between the music self-efficacies and self-esteems of students who receive vocational music training at the high school and university levels in Antalya. In addition, the research aims at determining the correlations between students' music self-efficacy and self-esteem levels, and their personal characteristics such as gender, school, major instrument, daily practice time and total instrument experience. The universe consisted of 56,5% (n=108) females and % 43,5 (n=83) males, totaling 191 students who receive vocational music training in Antalya. A separate sample was not determined in the research since the entire universe was accessed. Datas has been collected by using the Self-Efficacy Toward Musical Ability Scale (Özmenteş ve Özmenteş, 2008) and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (Çuhadaroğlu, 1986). It has been observed that male students' music self-efficacy levels are significantly higher than those of female students (t=-2.866, p<.01). It was determined that there is a positive significant correlation between music self-efficacy and self-esteem at the level of .53 (p<0.01).
