Abstract
The main aim of this study is to determine whether professional music education has any effect on “self-esteem” and “self-efficacy” of undergraduate students who study at different universities. The study was carried out with 55 students who study at Marmara University Ataturk Faculty of Education Department of Music Education and Istanbul University State Conservatory. Self-esteem level of students was measured with Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) which was developed by Rosenberg in 1965; self-efficacy levels were measured with Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) which was developed by Sherer et al. in 1982. The results showed that there were some statistically significant differences between RSE levels of students and some variables. Key words: Music education, self- esteem, self-efficacy.

Summary
Self-concept is a structure which is developed and controlled by cognitive development sources. Self-concept is expressed as the respect one shows to one’s own behaviours, skills, appreciation, and body; one’s attitude and evaluation towards these features (Erman et al, 2008). According to Rosenberg (1965), self-esteem is the positive or negative attitude one develops towards one’s own self. Self-esteem depends on satisfaction or restriction that an individual experiences. Those who have high self-esteem are self-satisfied and contented (Burns, 1982), regard themselves as valuable and are aware of their limitations, they strive for improvement and development. Low self-esteem is a result of experiences which decrease the value of self and reflect as not being satisfied with oneself, denying or devaluing oneself (grammar) and featuring negative or weak sides (Kaner, 1995)
