The aim of this study is to examine postgraduate theses on preschool music published in Türkiye between 2010 and 2024. The general screening model was employed as the research method. The research universe consists of 58 postgraduate theses published in the National Thesis Center during the specified period. The research content includes 7 doctoral theses and 50 master's theses that are fully accessible. Additionally, the research incorporates mathematical study components. Document analysis was chosen as the research method to facilitate the expansion and examination of national theses. The findings indicate that most postgraduate theses produced between 2010 and 2024 are at the master's level, highlighting the limited number of doctoral theses. It was revealed that the peak years for postgraduate thesis publications were 2022 and 2023, with no theses published in 2011 and 2014. The majority of postgraduate thesis authors were female. Furthermore, it was found that the research method is preferred over qualitative and mixed methods in postgraduate theses. The principles of these guidelines aim to diversify the methodologies used in preschool music programs, enrich the resources, and support doctoral-level frameworks.
