Özet

This research was carried out to learn to what extent the musical sensations of individuals with autism who are interested in music can be improved with effective music education. An individual with autism who has an interest in music was selected for the research from a pilot study. During the research process, solfeggio, piano, and elementary vocal training lessons were given with the active participation of the individual.  The research is an experimental study with a single subject. Action research, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in this study. To collect data, audio and visual materials, researcher observation form, expert opinion form, parent interview form, and descriptive analysis were used. A descriptive content analysis was performed on the collected data. The findings of the study reveal that the solfeggio, piano, and basic vocal training lessons given to individuals with autism are effective in improving their musical senses. In the light of this research, it is understood that a one-to-one, regular, and continuous musical education specific to individuals with autism will greatly contribute to the socio-cultural development of these individuals.
