This study aims to determine the effect of metacognitive strategies-based teaching practice in guitar education on preservice music teachers' performance achievement. Preservice music teachers (n = 20) who were enrolled in and in the process of attending the School Instruments III-Guitar course offered by the Department of Music Education, under the school of Fine Arts Education within the Educational Faculty of Mugla Sitki Kocman University in Turkey during the 2018-2019 academic year constituted the sample group of the study. The study was designed as an experimental study that included a randomized pretest-posttest control group. The results revealed that both the control group students with traditional current-based education and the experimental group students with metacognitive strategies-based teaching achieved improvement in their guitar performance. However, no significant difference was found between the teaching methods used because the study was carried out with a small group and therefore has a weak statistical power to detect an effect. The results further indicated that the metacognitive strategies-based teaching practice in guitar education, as an effective alternative to the traditional curriculum-based method, can be used to achieve improvement in preservice music teachers' guitar performance.
