The sub-objectives of the research are consisted of finding answers to "To what extent pre-school teachers support the music activities in the city where they work", "how often they participate in these music activities", "what it means to have music culture accumulation in their individual life and educational life". This research was conducted with a survey model and the sample of the research constitutes 221 pre-school teachers studying in Afyonkarahisar city center while its sample is consisted of 55 preschool teachers. The questionnaire was applied to the pre-school teachers who were selected as the sampling in terms of determining their views about music culture and accumulation of their music culture.

While investigating the relationships among the nominal variable groups, chi-square analysis was performed. On the condition that the expected values in the entries of the 2*2 tables did not have the sufficient volume, Fisher's exact test was used, while in the RxC tables Pearson chi-square analysis was performed with the help of Monte Carlo Simulation.
