Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, which has created obstacles in all areas of social and daily life since 2020, has completely prevented educational activities and caused drastic changes. Following the start of the COVID-19 restrictions, preschool education undergraduate students continued to take their music lessons with the distance education applications. It can be said that all of the students continued their distance education activities in these conditions with different socio-economic characteristics, physical opportunities and emotional diversity. In this study, which aims to examine the distance education applications offered to undergraduate students who have taken music lessons through distance education, in terms of their individual preferences and emotional conditions, 103 preschool teaching students took part as participants. The data of the research were obtained through the questionnaire prepared by the researcher and studied with the descriptive survey model. Some of the findings obtained in the research were that 60.2% of the participants’ would have preferred face-to-face education if they had a choice in the restrictions, and that there was a significant relationship between participants’ being psychologically impacted from the news they watched, their longing for their lives before the lockdown days and their economic status.

Summary
Education faculties are one of our higher education institutions that continue their educational activities with different missions and visions. One of the fields within the faculties of education that train teachers is the field of preschool education. Students in this field take pedagogical courses offered jointly to all education faculty students, specific courses in their field and various general culture courses. While some of these courses are compulsory, some of them are offered as elective courses. Preschool teaching can be evaluated from different perspectives due to the characteristics of the students (physical and mental) it teaches and the fact that these students have just taken a new step into the regular education life under the roof of the preschool. In the preschool teaching departments within the faculties of education, art education in early childhood and music education in early childhood are the courses related to field of arts
