The research data sources are the theses on music education in FAHS published in the database of the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education (CoHE) between 2005 and 2023. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study, 159 theses were interpreted by content analysis. It was determined that under the education theme of the theses examined; school, course, material and equipment, student, curriculum, and teacher dimensions were presented. In the discussion section, the codes regarding these dimensions were analyzed and interpreted. When the recommendations were analyzed according to the codes, it was determined that the majority covered issues that should be resolved by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE). Additionally, there are recommendations for the principals and teachers working in FAHS. It is essential that these stakeholders should address and resolve the issues to improve the efficiency of education and increase academic success.
