Piano education is very important in music teacher training. Students are given piano training during their undergraduate studies of 4 years, and graduate with the vocalization of a wide repertoire ranging from the works of art of the baroque period to the ones in the contemporary period. Contemporary Turkish piano music works carry a great importance within this repertoire. The purpose of this research is to put forward with a current point of view the position and importance of contemporary Turkish piano music works in music teacher training in our present day.Within the scope of the research, Turkish piano music works in terms of programs and repertoire in music teacher training will be analysed on account of their technical features and appropriateness in education, and by handling them with a model directed towards establishing a situation, encountered difficulties and resolution suggestions will be evaluated within the framework of a descriptive method.

It was observed that while the second, third, and fourth works had moderate level of effects on the development of target behaviors, the fifth and the sixth works had lower effects when compared to other works. According to the answers which six students gave to the semi-structured interview questions, all the students found the project positive in terms of its having them acquire a different perspective and five students found it positive in terms of its developing their information. A student stated that the allotted time was not sufficient, and another one found it unnecessarily detailed and stated a negative opinion. The originality of the study comes from the fact that these techniques in piano were new for the students at education faculties and applied for the first time.
