factors is the values that individuals have. Human values are widely being used as a notion in
many disciplines. The aim of this study was to investigate the human values of conservatory
students. The research group consisted of 204 conservatory students at the Dicle University State
Conservatory and Gaziantep University Turkish Music Conservatory enrolled in the 2019-2020
academic year. In this study, the data of the research were used with a personal information
