Young Children's Motivation in the Context of Classroom Music: An Exploratory Study about the Role of Music Content and Teaching Style.

Mota, Graca

Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, n141 p119-123 Sum 1999

Explores the link among music content and teaching style and the changes in children's ratings of musical self-competence and their motivation to continue in music. Tested 100 Portuguese children over three years. Finds that declines in both motivation and evaluation of self-competence may be explained by excessive emphasis on aural skills and music notation.
