Abstract
The preferences are defined as an effective low-intensity state, which concerning the music field would mean music by a musician or a certain musical style or a specific composition that an individual likes and chooses to listen to. Music preferences are usually a spontaneous reaction and do not necessarily include aesthetic criteria, i.e. cognitive processes. Factors that are related to musical preferences can be categorized as internal (e.g., music characteristics) and external (e.g., age, gender, personality, social influence, music education, social identity, etc.). In this paper a study was conducted aimed at determining the relationship between sociodemographic variables (gender of students, place of residence and their parents’ involvement in music) and musical preferences of primary music school students. The survey was conducted by an online survey in April 2020 in seven primary music schools in Republic of Croatia. The study involved 95 fifth- and sixth-grade elementary music school students. Using the Hi-square test, the existence of statistically significant differences in the respondents’ preferences towards rock, metal, turbo-folk, art, pop and electronic music with regard to gender, place of residence and musical tradition in the family was determined.
