The study deals with three questions concerning attitudes to singing: When does the joy of singing with girls and boys change to a feeling of “I can not sing”? What is it that affects them? Are there any differences between girls and boys attitudes to singing? A questionnaire with 12 questions about singing was distributed to 5 girls and 5 boys in (Swedish) grade 1, 4 and 8. It turned out that the girls in the study “play with singing” together or by themselves, while the boys are satisfied singing in school on music lessons. Because of this, the singing interest for boys gets lower and lower between 10 and 14 years. The girls keep their interest but their self esteem decreases. Comparing oneself with others becomes more and more important, as well as the ability to sing “good” and “correct”.
