Abstract :The aim of this study is to develop a Likert-type attitude scale to determine trumpet students` attitudes towards learning trumpet. In line with the purpose, a 37-item draft scale was prepared and applied to 92 trumpet students studying at undergraduate level in Conservatory and Music education faculties in Istanbul, Kocaeli, Ankara, Eskişehir, Edirne and İzmir. Factor analysis was performed for the construct validity of the draft scale. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was seen that the scale consisted of 19 items, 12 positive and 7 negative, gathered under five factors that explained 68.373% of the total variance. As a result of this study, which was conducted to determine the attitudes of trumpet students towards learning trumpet, `Playing Trumpet Interest` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5 items);, `Trumpet Course Interest` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4 items);, `Trumpet Course Anxiety` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4 items);, `Trumpet Performer Anxiety` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( A total of 19 items was developed, consisting of five sub-dimensions: `Improvisation Interest` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3 items); and `Improvisation Interest` insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3 items);. The scale, which is called the attitude scale towards the trumpet and trumpet lesson, explains 68.373% of the total variance as a result of the analyzes and the Cronbach Alpha insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(α); internal consistency coefficient value is .887, which indicates that it has a strong structure. As a result, it can be said that the scale developed under the name of Attitude Scale towards Learning Trumpet is a valid and reliable scale that can be used in similar studies.
