The 2018 Music Course Curriculum was examined within the scope of the key competencies of the European Qualifications Framework (AYC) and the Turkish Qualifications Framework (TQF) in this study. Document analysis, one of the qualitative research approaches, was employed in the study. Special objectives of the 2018- Music Course Curriculum, field-specific skills, the achievements defined for grades 1-8, and the relationship of the four learning areas with the key competencies determined within the scope of Turkish Qualifications Framework (TQF) and European Qualifications Framework (EQF) were investigated. It has been tried to determine the main similarities and differences between the Music Course Curriculum in Turkey and the Music Curriculum of European schools. According to the findings, considering the relationship between “special goals”, “field-specific skills”, “achievements covering grades 1-8” and “Learning Areas” defined in the Music Course Curriculum and the key competencies as a whole, competence areas related with learning to learn, communication in the mother tongue, cultural awareness and expression, social and citizenship are included at most. It has been determined that while some areas included less such as taking initiative and entrepreneurship, digital competence, mathematical competence and competence in science and technology, the competence of "communication in foreign languages" is not included at all. Comparing the Music Course Curriculum and the European Schools Music Curriculum, it is seen that the music listening activities in the 2018-Music Curriculum are in the nature of listening activities held/organized to create a "cultural awareness" in students, rather than a purposeful listening on the basic concepts and applications of music teaching methodology and also it has been determined that the achievements of "playing an instrument" are not included. Recommendations are given regarding the reorganization/correction of the deficiencies that may be considered important in terms of curriculum development in the 2018-Music Course Curriculum prepared within the scope of the Turkish Qualifications Framework (TQF), a member of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
