This study was carried out in Adıyaman, Southeastern Anatolia Region, in order to determine what they perceive when preschool students say "music", through the art of painting. The pictures of the children were evaluated by using content and visual analysis techniques by constructing a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 44 five (5) year-old students studying at Latife Hanım Kindergarten in the Barbaros district of Adıyaman city center in the 2019-2020 academic year. A4 size paper and pastel crayons were used as a painting material. "What comes to your mind when you say music?" they were asked to make a picture about this subject. In addition, when the paintings were completed, the students were interviewed about their paintings and asked what they wanted to tell by two teachers who were experts in the field of painting and were transcribed. As a result of the analysis of the pictures, six categories were identified as listening to music concept, instruments and other equipment, dancing with music, playing instruments, venues where music was performed and other activities with music. A total of fifty codes for these categories have been determined. Furthermore, a ninety-one frequency value was determined indicating the number of times the codes were repeated. According to findings, more often electronic devices and drum and pestle duo are frequently used in Adıyaman. This may indicate that the living environment is effective in children's perception of music. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
