Musiken, skolan och barnet : Elevers uppfattningar om ämnet musik och sitt musikintresse i årskurs 6

Sammanfattning: This qualitative study encompasses a study of pupils' perceptions about the subject of music as well as the importance and everyday importance of the subject of music for pupils outside of school. The study has a phenomenological approach based on describing the breadth and variety of perceptions of the subject of music. Qualitative semistructured interviews form an empirical basis for analysis. The result is based on concepts such as meanings, perceptions of music as a school subject and everyday life. Variations appear that a student is stimulated at school to start musicing more outside of  school and that the interviewed pupils have different views about the music as a subject in school. The result also shows how the students who play any instrument during their spare time, also have parents who play music in any form. On the other hand, the results show that those who do not play any instrument in their spare time have parents who do not. Finally, the result showed that all interviewed students in some form use music in any social context, musicing with the family or just listening to music together with friends.
