The participants of this study were selected among the instructors lecturing either the TCMTP or TFMTP course at faculties of education (N=9). The data of the research were obtained through interviews held with the study group. It was finded that pre-service teachers had difficulties in perceiving the maqam, performing the maqam scale with correct intonation, performing the pieces by counting unit time of rhythm, transposing, analyzing the maqam, and performing melodic movement. In the light of the data obtained from this research, students who receive TCMTP and TFMTP courses are advised to listen to a lot of Turkish Music pieces from the right sources.
