The Way Of Victory

By Prof. KEVIN

Of the young people between the ages of twelve and nineteen in the Netherlands, 96 percent never attend a classical concert (Vervoorn, 2003). For the past five to ten years, cultural institutions have realized that something needs to be done to get more young people into the concert hall. By organizing various educational activities, they hope to achieve this. Although the family and level of education play a greater role in cultural participation at a later age than art education, art education can contribute to the introduction of classical music and possibly lead to cultural participation at a later age (Ganzeboom, 1989; Ranshuysen, 1993b; Nagel, 1996). Art education aims to reduce negative factors and give people the means to make a motivated choice in cultural participation (Ensink, 1998). All children should ever come into contact with classical music, so that they can then make a choice based on what they have seen and heard, whether they want to listen to classical music more often or not. When parents do not educate their children artistically or culturally, the school offers a chance to rethink (Ensink, 1998).

Schools are not cultural institutions and teachers are not artists. The education and music sectors are two different organizations. Teachers do not always have the right knowledge and creative skills, while musicians do not always have didactic skills. It is important that the two organizations join forces, complement each other and create educational projects together. This study looks for factors that contribute to the optimization of these education projects, so that young people come into contact with classical music in a positive way.
