Abstract
We have conducted a research on the impact of the employment status and professional degree of parents to the amount of time they spend with their children in music and other (non-music) activities in their family home. This paper delivers the results. Research was conducted in June 2015 in four kindergartens in the city of Split on a sample of 160 parents of 80 preschool children. Results indicate that there is no statistically significant impact of the parents’ employment status and professional degree on the amount of time they spend with their children in music and other (non-music) activities. The impact of parents’ employment is statistically significant at the significance level of 10% (p=0,053 < 10%) in a way that the families with only one employed parent tend to spend more time with children in music activities than families with both employed parents.
