La motivación en la música como eje de la formación profesional

Abstract

In some countries, music teaching is present in the study plans since an early age for kids. This provides the schoolchildren with general culture and, in certain cases, encourages them to continue their musical studies at higher levels of education. The decision to major as a musician, though, implies a great sacrifice for a teen who, in ideal terms, would start from a young age and would have family support, but towards adolescence, requires various motivational strategies that encourage him to finish his studies at a bachelor's level. The career choice related to music education is diverse in most of the Mexican states; however, in many cases, music is not the main focus of the education plans. These considerations led to this reflection, which aims to recapitulate and examine the aspects that motivate students to train as professional musicians.
