Abstract :Metaphors are frequently used expressions in music and are essential for determining people\'s perceptions of music. Therefore, this study aims to identify and analyze conservatory students\' perceptions of folk music as a study in which the concepts of metaphor and music come together. The study group for the data consists of 82 conservatory students studying at Dicle University in the 2021-2022 academic year. The researchers collected data on conservatory students\' perceptions of folk music using the phenomenological analysis method. These data were then interpreted through content analysis. According to the study results, the most common metaphors of participants’ perceptions of folk music were life, past, history, Anatolia, sadness, mother\'s lap, and nightingale. In this context, conservatory students\' folk music metaphors were grouped under 12 different categories such as tool, guide, belonging, pleasure, need, cultural transfer tool, reflection, closeness, serenity, diversity, abstraction and concretization. Conservatory students\' folk music metaphors differ from each other to a certain extent. These findings contribute to determine conservatory students\' perceptions of folk music and providing better music education. Different perceptions can help music students evaluate folk music diverse perspective and better understand cultural heritage. This may lead to positive results regarding folk music education.
