Family Upbringing and the Effects of Socialisation in the Light of Music Education

Summary/Abstract: Abstract This study examines the developmental potential of music within the context of family upbringing. Access to the arts – and in this case, to music – has varied substantially across historical periods. In earlier centuries, active engagement with artistic prac¬tices was, among other factors, often associated with social privilege. The contem¬porary paradigm, according to which music education is regarded as a universally accessible good across all social strata, has emerged only gradually. The analysis highlights the importance of emotional experiences that shape children as they navi¬gate the often challenging process of growing up. Children draw upon the emotional resources provided by their parents and music, which can profoundly and holistically affect the human psyche and can thus serve as a foundational element in the devel¬opment of emotional well-being.
