MUSIC PREFERENCES OF THE FACULTY OF FINE ARTS STUDENTS
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to reveal the music listening situation of the students at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Kastamonu University, the music genres that they listen to and the relationship between them. It is also investigated whether the music listening situation determines the music training of the students or also makes significant difference among students according to their genders. The music listening situation scale developed as fivepoint Likert type and the frequency of listening to music scales were used as for data collection tools. The findings revealed that the majority of the students prefer listening to music at home and public transport. The least preferred situations for listening to music are when they are with their families and whilst reading book/newspaper/magazines. The results suggested that the most preferred genres are Rock and Blues which are closely followed by Jazz and Western Classical Music. The least preferred genres are Turkish Arabesque Music, Rap and Turkish Folk Music. It is determined that the students’ music listening situation has shown significant differences according to the musical training, gender and musical genres.
