Extract

This article is based on research undertaken in adult education institutes of the Inner London Education Authority, and gives statistical details of students attending Music Appreciation classes. Their reasons for attending such classes, preferences for types of music attendance at performances, membership of musical societies and reading of books and articles on music are included. They were also asked to give details of their home listening, as this provides further proof of the commitment given to music by people who meet together once a week to learn about the subject.

From these personal details it should be possible for a tutor to devise a curriculum of interest which would stimulate adults to be more deeply involved in music-making.
