The deep learning approach levels of students whose instruments are played manually or by plectrum are lower than students whose instruments are played by bow or students who have vocal training. [x=3.24, F(2,737)=10.81, p<0.01]. The deep learning approach levels of students whose academic grades are lower than 70 are lower than students whose learning approaches are 70 or higher.
