Abstract: This study reveals the experiences of pre-service music teachers in the teaching practice course. Phenomenology was used for this study. Eight final-year pre-service music teachers who took the teaching practice course were included in the study using maximum diversity sampling. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Deductive content analysis was used to analyze the data. Credibility and transferability studies were adopted as validity studies, and internal consistency and confirmability studies were adopted as reliability studies. Pre-service music teachers stated that they had many positive and negative experiences with the teaching methods and techniques, mentor teacher, use of technology, school administrator, students, textbooks, equipment, music classroom, classroom management, time management, and content knowledge. It was concluded that pre-service music teachers gained many benefits due to their teaching practice. In line with the results, suggestions such as pre-service music teachers should be enabled to carry out their teaching practice at different levels of education.
