Abstract
The term “music” is constantly influenced by techni
cal and technological dynamics which take on new
dimensions in terms of spatial, temporal, and styli
stic nature. This enables the expansion of global
music culture to be imposed as an imperative in the
formation of musical taste and value systems. In
this paper, we would like to present music education versus the preference of
musical genres among the
young population in the Republic of Macedonia in or
der to get a picture of the correlation between
these two categories. For this purpose, we surveyed
187 students of the final grade in primary educati
on
at the age of 13–14 years. We conducted the survey
in three primary schools taught in Macedonian,
Albanian, and Turkish languages in the capital of t
he Republic of Macedonia, Skopje. The results from
the survey show that the highest percentages of stu
dents listen to pop–rock (43%) and the newly create
d
folk music (31%), while the remaining percent (26%) is related to the preference of
electronic, art, and
folk traditional music. If we take into considerati
on the age of the respondents, the time and
developmental interval in which they are located, t
hey are characterized by the quest to establish a p
lace
of an individual in the music culture. Because they
are directly exposed to a variety of musical
influences from the environment and the media, all
of that influences the formation of their personali
ty
and paves the way of musical taste as an important
component of the completely developed personality.
In such conditions, the relevant musical bodies are
especially called to establish a balance in the
relationship between music education and the curren
t music culture, through finding new contents and
educational methods in the school music activities.
