The purpose of the present study is to investigate the importance of the subject of music for high school students. A quantitative method, digital survey, has been used to examine high school students' experiences and feelings toward the subject of music. The results have been analyzed from a socio-cultural perspective and from the viewpoint that learning takes place in communication and interactions between people. The previous research that dealt with the subject in the past has also been included in the analysis process. The results show that the subject of music is important for high school students, albeit of different kinds of significance and from different perspectives. Many students have positive experiences of the subject of music, which results in the subject having a positive meaning for them, while others have negative experiences of the subject. The results also show that the subject of music is important not only for students' mood but also for an individual's development of creativity, problem-solving ability and collaboration ability. This creativity also contributes to other professions and should not only be seen as something artistic for only music or other artistic forms of expression. Creativity can contribute to other professions where problem-solving ability, creativity and collaboration are required.
