Abstract
Scientific researches are based on the process of systematically collecting, analyzing, and reporting by interpreting information with a specific method. In this process, research results can be shared with different types of publications such as thesis and article. The approaches and practices that emerge as a result of every research conducted in the field contribute positively to that discipline. This study, which was carried out to systematically examine the graduate studies on piano, is considered important in terms of reporting the studies on piano, in a general framework, organizing them systematically, and helping researchers for new studies to be made. In the research, between 1987 and 2017, the theses that were accessed as full text PDF in the YÖK thesis center database and the content of the subject were analyzed by content analysis by examining the piano directly. With the screening and selection criteria determined within the scope of the research, the graduate studies to be used were determined and the subjects related to piano were included in the sample. Postgraduate studies included in the research sample were examined, coded using the excel program, and themes consisting of 17 items starting from the research type were examined.
