Summary/Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to comparatively examine the availability of music in the pre-school teaching undergraduate programs in 1998, 2007 and 2018 in terms of the number of lessons, lesson hours and application-theory rates. Document analysis method was used in the study. As the data collection tool in the research, the undergraduate programs of preschool teaching in 1998, 2007 and 2018, which were formed by the Council of Higher Education, were examined. Descriptive analysis was carried out to analyze the data. In line with the findings obtained from the research, it was determined that the courses related to the field of music included in the 2018 preschool teaching undergraduate program differ from the 1997 and 2006 programs in terms of the number of courses, course hours and the rates of practice-theory course hours. Considering the 1998 program, it was determined that while the number of courses in the field of music remained constant in the 2007 program, there was a decrease in course hours, and in the 2018 program, there was a decrease in both the number of courses and course hours compared to the previous programs. In addition, it was determined that in the 2018 program, all courses related to the field of music regarding field knowledge were included as theoretical courses. However, it has been observed that the number of courses increases with elective courses. The research findings were discussed in line with the literature.
