- Abstract
- In this study, five sixth-form college students were interviewed in order to create a better understanding of how young people choose their main instrument. The aim was to make visible the factors which were influential in the informants’ choice of instrument in order for teachers to be able to actively work with broadening young people’s perspective on music. The collection of data was done through individual semi-structured interviews with college students at the arts programme in Sweden. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and then analysed thematically.
In the results it became apparent that the male family members were particularly influential on the informants’ choice of instrument. The results also showed a correlation...

In the results it became apparent that the male family members were particularly influential on the informants’ choice of instrument. The results also showed a correlation between sex and homogeneous role models. Furthermore, the results showed that the phonetic and kinaesthetic properties of the instruments were also of importance in their choice of instrument. In conclusion the results show that there are established connections between gender and choice of instrument. This was reflected in the students view of instruments, practice of genre and norms in the music education they had partaken in. The informants’ statements show that their main influences have been from factors outside of the school environment, which was described as uninspiring.
An effort towards a better music education must thus be made in order to widen all students’ musical interests. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)

Ambitionen var att synliggöra faktorer som har varit inflytelserika i deras val av huvudinstrument för att vi lärare ska kunna arbeta aktivt med att vidga unga människors intresse för musik. Datainsamlingen skedde genom enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer med gymnasieelever vid estetiska programmet. Intervjuerna spelades in, transkriberades och analyserades tematiskt.

Ambitionen var att synliggöra faktorer som har varit inflytelserika i deras val av huvudinstrument för att vi lärare ska kunna arbeta aktivt med att vidga unga människors intresse för musik. Datainsamlingen skedde genom enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer med gymnasieelever vid estetiska programmet. Intervjuerna spelades in, transkriberades och analyserades tematiskt.
I resultaten avslöjades det att framför allt manliga familjemedlemmar har stort inflytande på informanternas val av huvudinstrument, samt visades ett samband mellan kön och homogena förebilder. Vidare visade resultaten att instrumentens fonetiska och kinestetiska egenskaper samt informanternas självuppfattning vad gäller skicklighet på instrumentet även var betydelsefulla faktorer. Slutsatserna är att det finns etablerade relationer mellan kön och val av huvudinstrument vilket speglas i elevernas syn på instrument, genrepraktik och normer i den undervisning de har tagit del av. Informanternas utsagor tyder på att inflytelserika faktorer var orelaterade till grundskolan som i stället ansågs oinspirerande. Ett aktivt arbete mot en förbättrad musikundervisning i grundskolan bör därmed göras för att kunna vidga alla elevers musikaliska intresse. (Less)
