Abstract

In the last ten years, with the introduction of various musical trends, the teaching of Classical Music has become obsolete inside as well as outside of the classroom. This phenomenon, also noted in other research, has been observed in the attitudes students demonstrate when asked relate their own concept of Classical music. This article studies existing attitudes towards Classical music in Andalusia. Based on this premise, we designed a questionnaire to analyze these attitudes from a three-dimensional approach. Subsequently these attitudes were related to other elements (family, peer group, etc.) trying to discover the determining factors that account for the change in student attitudes to Classical Music in Andalusia.
