Investigation of musical self-confidence and motivation of music talent students in Science and Art Centers in instrument education

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the musical self-confidence and motivation of students who are accepted to Science and Art Centers (SAC) with their musical talent as a result of instrument training. At this point, the effects of the instrument training given to the students within the scope of the study on the musical self-confidence and motivation levels were investigated. Within the scope of the study, fifty students who received music education in nine SACs constituted the sample of the study. Two main data collection tools were used in the study. The first of these is the “Instrument Performance Self-Efficacy Scale” and the second is the “Individual Instrument Training Motivation Scale”. Both scales were carried out in the form of “pretest-posttest” before and after the instrument training, which was carried out with students for a total of forty hours, two hours a week for five months. According to the findings obtained in the study, in SAC students receiving instrument training; It has been determined that the motivation for the performances of the students in individual instrument works has increased, even though they are criticized or disliked by the teachers. In addition, it was observed that students' desire to play an individual instrument increased, while their self-efficacy did not change.
