The data collected were analysed through the technique of content analysis, evaluated in the light of the relevant literature, and consequently it was found that pre-service music teachers did not find themselves adequate in applying music teaching methods, conducting teaching in compliance with the music theory, and playing the piano effectively so as to consort; whereas they considered themselves adequate in performing teaching directed to audition training, in transfering international music pieces and introducing the instruments and conducting music groups.
