Abstract

This research was carried out with the aim of making thematic analysis of the subjects of musical works in the Ministry of National Education (MONE) Anatolian high school teachers' guidebooks and revealing on which subjects the works are concentrated. In the study, Anatolian high school?s teacher guidebooks published by the MONE were grouped by taking different variables into consideration and subjected to content analysis through the "musical work review form" developed by the researcher. As a result of the analysis, all the works in the books for each grade in the teacher guide books of the Anatolian high schools music lesson were primarily categorized as Turkish and world music. After this process, all works are organized according to subject themes. In addition, Turkish music genres are also classified as Turkish folk music, Turkish classical music, school songs, anthems, film music, pop music and contemporary Turkish music. Under the tables, the names of the musical pieces in the themes and sub-themes are specified and it is explained which works constitute the sub-theme. According to the analysis results, Turkish music is included in the works in the books more than the examples of world music, The most common sub-themes in the works pointing to the theme of Turkish music are love-love and the pain of love separation, It was determined that the least common sub-themes are in the content of "honesty, love, friendship and peace". Based on the results of the study, it is necessary to include more works that constitute examples of world music and contemporary Turkish music, to reduce the frequency of love-themed songs in the selection of songs, to include more works on topics such as love, friendship and peace, nature, honesty, homeland love, and respect, humanity. It has been suggested to add works that contain words on issues such as rights and the bad-harms of violence.
