Abstract :The purpose of this research is to examine the musical maps and learning strategies used by students in teaching solfege in the context of mental schemas. The research was carried out with a group of 32 students consisting of 1st and 2nd grade students who received music education at the higher education level. The research was conducted with a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. An interview form consisting of two parts was applied in order to determine the mental maps of the study group regarding solfeggio reading and the learning strategies they used. The questions in the first part of the interview form are for determining the learning strategies used, and the questions in the second part are for determining the musical maps. The obtained data were converted into frequency and percentage tables. In determining the music maps, the drawings made by the students and their responses were analyzed by content analysis. As a result of the research, it was determined that the most frequently used strategies by the students were attention and repetition strategies and this strategy was used more by male students in the research group. When the information on the students\\\' maps of solfege reading was examined, it was determined that they were not sufficient to visualize the theoretical information in their minds, and they focused only on one note while studying solfege. In addition to these results, it was determined that the students were not aware of the problems they experienced while reading the notes or they could not offer solutions for the problems.
