The study was carried out to determine the "ego states" and the "transactions" in terms of Transactional Analysis, which are mainly used in teacher-student communication in one-to-one musical instrument lessons at an Anatolian Fine Arts High School in Turkey. Research sample was consisted of all music students (N=83) and the instrument instructors (N=15) at the school. The research data were collected by "The Ego States Scale" developed by Ari (1989). The results indicated that the teachers mainly use "Nurturing Parent" and "Adult" ego states. The students use mainly "Nurturing Parent" ego state according to themselves, and "Adapted Child" according to their teachers. Both of the groups use "Critical Parent" ego state least. It was found that "complementary transaction" occurred in the teacher-student communication.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMusical Instrument LessonCommunicationTransactional Analysis (TA) TheoryEgo StatesTransactionArticle824265N/A
