Gitarrelevers instuderingsmetoder : En kvalitativ studie om fem gymnasieelevers föredragna instuderingsmetoder vid gitarrspel och hur deras uppväxt påverkat deras musicerande

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the students' upbringing environment has influenced their will to play music and which their method of preferable choice is when learning a new piece of music playing guitar. Previous research shows that children growing up in a musical environment often start playing music themselves and that their motivation to play is depending on support and stimulation from family members and teachers. Research also shows that children usually start making or playing music with their hearing, but by learning to read sheet music they further develop their musical skills. The method of study is semi structured interviews with five students in the aesthetic program in music in the upper secondary school. As a complement to the interviews, the students have been given a musical piece and asked to learn it before the interviews. The study has been analysed from a sociocultural perspective largely based on Vygotsky's view of the environment’s impact on children's upbringing. The study shows that all students in the study have started playing guitar at an early age because of there being musicians around them growing up. The results also show that most of the students prefer to learn new pieces playing their guitar using hearing instead of sheet music.
