Abstract (Swedish)
Studien undersöker hur studenter inom det naturvetenskapliga programmet på Lars Erik Larsson-gymnasiet (LEL) förhåller sig till musikämnet. LEL är en gymnasieskola i Lund som erbjuder naturvetenskapligt program med musikfördjupning. Syftet med studien är att undersöka elevernas syn på musikämnets funktion och hur deras synsätt kan kopplas till social bakgrund och fostran. Det teoretiska ramverket för att undersöka fostran, attityder och social bakgrund vilar på Pierre Bourdieus teorier om kulturellt kapital, habitus och fält. I studien undersöks också hur eleverna värderar olika musikgenrer. Undersökningen har genomförts i form av kvalitativa intervjuer med två före detta och fyra nuvarande studenter på skolan. I resultatet beskrivs hur... (More)

Det teoretiska ramverket för att undersöka fostran, attityder och social bakgrund vilar på Pierre Bourdieus teorier om kulturellt kapital, habitus och fält. I studien undersöks också hur eleverna värderar olika musikgenrer. Undersökningen har genomförts i form av kvalitativa intervjuer med två före detta och fyra nuvarande studenter på skolan. I resultatet beskrivs hur eleverna ofta har höga studieambitioner, att de kommer från hem med hög utbildningsnivå och hur de värderar den klassiska musiken högt. De flesta av informanterna planerar inte vidare studier i musik. De beskriver musikutövandets funktion som komplementär och hur dess främsta roll är att skapa välbefinnande och variation i studietillvaron. I diskussionen förs ett resonemang om hur färdigheter i t.ex. klassisk musik kan betraktas som ett kulturellt kapital men också hur detta kapital kan värderas olika beroende på sammanhang. (Less)
Abstract
The study examines how students in The Natural Science Programme at Lars-Erik Larsson-school (LEL) relate to the subject of music. LEL is an upper secondary school in Lund which provides The Natural Science Programme with a music profile. The purpose of the study is to investigate students' views of the function of music studies and how their approach can be linked to their social background and upbringing. The theoretical framework rests on Pierre Bourdieu's theories and his definitions of cultural capital, habitus and field. Furthermore the study examines how students evaluate various musical genres. The survey was conducted in the form of qualitative interviews with two former and four current students of the school. The results... (More)

The purpose of the study is to investigate students' views of the function of music studies and how their approach can be linked to their social background and upbringing. The theoretical framework rests on Pierre Bourdieu's theories and his definitions of cultural capital, habitus and field. Furthermore the study examines how students evaluate various musical genres. The survey was conducted in the form of qualitative interviews with two former and four current students of the school. The results describe how most students have high ambitions in their studies, how they come from well-educated families and how classical music is highly valued. Most of the informants do not plan to go on to higher education in music. They describe the main function of music studies as complementary and how their primary role is to create well-being and variation in their studies. The discussion also describes how skills such as classical music can be considered cultural capital, but also how such capital can be valued differently depending on the context. (Less)
