Musical abilities, musical performance and non-musical characteristics of pupils attending music school

V magistrskem delu obravnavamo tri področja značilnosti glasbenega talenta: glasbene sposobnosti, glasbeno izvedbo in neglasbene značilnosti. V teoretičnem delu je najprej predstavljen temeljni teoretski okvir obravnave značilnosti glasbeno talentiranih učencev na razredni stopnji. Sledi podrobnejša obravnava (treh) izpostavljenih področij glasbenega talenta. Empirični del predstavlja raziskavo, ki je bila izvedena z deskriptivno metodo, podatki pa so bili pridobljeni s kvantitativnim pristopom. Temeljni cilj raziskave je bil proučiti značilnosti glasbeno talentiranih inštrumentalistov, ki obiskujejo glasbeno šolo Vzorec je vključeval 268 učiteljev inštrumentalnega pouka, ki poučujejo na glasbenih šolah Republike Slovenije. Izmed vseh učencev in učenk (od 6 do 10 let) so izbrali tistega oz. tisto, ki je po njihovem mnenju najbolj glasbeno talentiran/-a, in ga/jo ocenili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Pri tem je bil uporabljen obstoječi merski inštrumentarij avtorja Kovačiča (2016). Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da so značilnosti glasbeno talentiranih inštrumentalistov, ki se nanašajo na glasbene sposobnosti, glasbeno izvedbo in neglasbene značilnosti nadpovprečno izražene (v intervalu 4 < M < 7). Spol ni statistično pomembno povezan z značilnostmi glasbeno talentiranih inštrumentalistov na področju glasbene sposobnosti. Razlika med deklicami in dečki se je pokazala pri dveh od štirih značilnostih glasbene izvedbe (delna potrditev hipoteze). Pri značilnostih glasbeno talentiranih inštrumentalistov na področju neglasbene značilnosti pa statistično pomembnih razlik med spoloma v glavnem ni. Z višanjem obiskovanja letnika inštrumentalnega pouka v glasbeni šoli oz. s starostjo, se izražene značilnosti glasbeno talentiranih inštrumentalistov statistično pomembno ne zvišujejo, razen v glavnem na področju neglasbene značilnosti.This master thesis deals with three characteristics of musical talent: musical ability, musical performance, and non-musical characteristics. Firstly, in the theoretical part of the thesis, the basic theoretical framework with the characteristics of musically talented pupils aged 6-10 is described. Secondly, a more detailed analysis of the three areas of musical talent is presented. The empirical part of the thesis presents a survey that was carried out using a descriptive method and a quantitative approach of collecting the data. The main objective of the study was to analyse the characteristics of musically talented instrumentalists attending music school. The sample comprised 268 teachers who teach at the music schools of the Republic of Slovenia. The music teachers selected a pupil who, according to their opinion, was the most musically talented student among all male and female students aged 6-10, and he or she was evaluated by a questionnaire. The measurement tool of Bojan Kovačič (2016) was used for that purpose. The results of the study showed that the characteristics of musically talented instrumentalists which relate to musical ability, musical performance and non-musical characteristics are above average (in the interval 4 < M < 7). Gender is not statistically relevant to the characteristics of musically talented instrumentalists in the field of musical ability. The difference between female and male pupils was shown in two of the four characteristics of the musical performance (partial confirmation of the hypothesis). However, there are no significant gender differences in the field of the non-musical characteristics of musically talented instrumentalists. Moreover, with higher levels of instrumental music classes in music school or with student’s age the characteristics of musically talented instrumentalists statistically do not increase significantly, except in the field of non-musical characteristics
