The major purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between private music lesson, self-efficacy and emotional well-being of elementary school
The subjects were 501 6th graders( male = 252, female = 249). They were randomly extracted from 4 elementary schools in Changwon, Jinhae and Gimhae, Geoje( urban = 2 schools, rural = 2schools).
Three type of survey tools were used the questionnaire of private music lesson to find out the present situation where elementary school students take the music lessons. the self-efficacy to find out self-efficacy among the students, the positive affect and negative affect and emotional well-being to examine the sense of emotional well-being of students. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 11.0
The findings of the research were as follows;
First, 72% of students took private music lessons and their favorite lesson subject was piano(68%). The text book oriented musical instruments like Recorder/Danso( a short bamboo flute) and Changku( a double-headed drum) tuitions were also learned many school children.
Second, Girl students took music tuitions more than boy students and girl students's satisfaction index in the tuition was higher compared to boy students.
Third, Students living in cities took the lessons more often than students in Eup/Myeon areas whereas no difference was shown between two students' groups of the above two places in regard to the satisfaction index/lesson hours in music tuition.
Forth, There was no relationship between experience of private music lesson and self-efficacy.
Fifth There was no relationship between experience of private music lesson and the emotional well-being.
This research found that 72% of elementary school students experienced private music lessons and female students took the lessons more than male students. The girl students' satisfaction index regarding the tuition was higher than in the case of boy students. There was no relationship between the private music lesson and the self-efficacy emotional well-being.
The parents of students usually let their children take music tuition to encourage their self-confidence and emotional well-being, however, taking the lessons itself did not guarantee the development of those expected effects.
In addition, it can be suggested that the present private music lesson practice should divert its focus from functional instruments training to covering the emotional aspect of students.
