<p>Abstract</p><p>We´re surrounded by music in many different ways. Sometimes we choose the music ourselves and sometimes it’s just there. The purpose of my thesis is to illustrate the students apprehension and understanding of the teaching of music in school. Moreover, my own interest in this subject and its influence during my school years motivated me in researching my thesis. Looking back historically we discover how and why music has changed and evolved over time. The main reason behind these changes and evolution today is the powerful influence that media has on it. Through interviewing students between ages 10-12 my research has revealed an interesting phenomenoraphy. I found variations in the students’ descriptions of their music teachings and after reviewing these variations have attempted to establish relationships between them. The results of my reasearch show that what is shown on television and the music played on television is what is totally accepted. Furthermore, my research also showed that the students themselves have no influence on class curriculum. Often lessons are perceived by students to be without structure and direction. Also the students fail to understand their role in the class and how their participation matters. It´s my opinion that if you establish more participation and influence from the students, there is a greater chance that the students take more responsibility and initiative for their role in the class.</p><p>Keywords: music, students, apprehension of, phenomenoraphy,</p>
