The results also showed a negative significant relationship between students’ motivation toward instrument education, their musical instrument performance self-efficacy beliefs, attitudes, and burnout. The fine arts high school students’motivation toward instrument education, their musical instrument performance self-efficacy beliefs, and attitudes were found to be significant predictors for their burnout.Implications for Research and Practice: The researchers in this study recommend that further studies should be conducted to determine the predictive power of other affective variables on student burnout levels to provide new insights into the literature. Given that existing Turkish literature in the field of burnout in music education has mostly focused on music teachers andpreservice music teachers, burnout among music education students among different institutions is an area that demands further investigation.
