MUSICAL PREFERENCES OF YOUNG LEARNERS

Najznačajniji su faktori u formiranju glazbenoga ukusa djece: škola, obitelj, vršnjaci i masovni mediji. U ovom smo radu istražili glazbene preferencije učenika četvrtoga i osmoga razreda osnovne škole i zaključili kako oni generalno nemaju negativan stav prema klasičnoj glazbi, što se posebno odnosi na učenike četvrtoga razreda. Osim toga, mlađi su učenici otvoreniji prema nepoznatoj glazbi, što je veoma važno ukoliko imamo na umu činjenicu da se stavovi prema glazbi formiraju u ranom djetinjstvu, u kojem se stječu prva glazbena iskustva, koja se kasnije ne mogu razvijati spontano niti intenzivno.The most important factors in forming musical taste are school, family, friends and mass media. In this article we have investigated musical preferences of the pupils in the 4th and 8th grade of elementary school, and concluded that they have no negative attitude toward classical music, especially those pupils in the 4th grade. In addition, younger pupils are more open to unfamiliar music. That is a very important perception if we have in mind the fact that attitudes are formed in early childhood, which is the period of gaining the first musical experiences, which can\u27t be developed at some later stages in a spontaneous and intensive manner
