This research aims the applicability of the Primary Measures of Music Audiation and Intermadiate Measures of Music Audiation tests in Turkey, which was developed by Edwin Gordon, after performing the validity and reliability. Thus, it aims to be an alternative to the tests used in Turkey for measuring the musical perception or musical talent. In line with this objective, applications were performed in two separate school and level which were Azmi Ertugrul Primary School and Turgut Özal Intermediate School. Applications were done in accordance with the original test and within a class hour. Each test is divided into two subtests such as tonal and rythm test, including 40 items. As a result, applicability of these tests in Turkey, after calculating KR-20 reliability coefficient, relationship against scores, material distinctiveness, material analysis, descriptive analysis, criterion validity and validity of these tests which have application examples in abroad, Primary Music Audition Test for 6-10 age group, Intermediate Music Audition Test for 11-14 age group were found to be successful in recognition of students who are talented or not and also the applicability of such in Turkey.
