Music education for the preschool age group and piano teaching in this context is generally of great interest and in demand. In Turkey, music teacher candidates take piano lessons during their undergraduate education, two of which are compulsory and six are elective. In this process, however, a course on how to teach the piano is not included in the curriculum of the music teaching department. Therefore, except specific elective courses delivered in certain universities in the previous academic years, there is not a course that includes information on how to teach the piano, which is in such high demand in general and is an introductory course in many educational institutions, to both preschool period and different age groups, and whose methods are employed during piano education on what to do about the technical teaching of the instrument. The researcher has discussed the importance of the subject by giving examples from the literature in his article and has made various suggestions regarding the issue. Therefore, in terms of its structure, this study is a comprehensive literature review that examines the studies related to music education and makes various suggestions.
