Notes

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of others (influential persons) in the
socialization process of members of an amateur string quartet. The questions were: who
encouraged subjects to become involved with music during pre-college years, college, and
post-college years; and, how was the process different from the experiences of music
educators in earlier studies? These questions have been tested earlier in a large-scale survey
and in a case study setting (1994 and 2007). This study (2008) was done on 4 amateur
musicians who played in a string quartet. Using similar research questions for the role of
musician from previous investigations, this study will show the part that others played in the
developing social roles of the subjects as musicians. According to Regelski (2007), the
significance of the amateur musician in musicking deserves the attention of music educators.
Often the only difference in an amateur and a professional musician is that the latter is paid
(Booth, 1999). In this study, taped interviews were used to gather information about how the
beginning and amateur musicians’ concept of self has changed over nearly two decades of
performing with a string quartet. Who encouraged them to keep playing? What
discouragements did they face from others? What factors, such as being paid, and audience
response have contributed to their inner concepts of self as a successful musician?
