Abstract

The reason for this research was the reflections and the experiences of the writer in the subject of learning and teaching a traditional musical instrument through individual lessons. This study is based on wider theoretical framework concerning the characteristics of students of individual traditional musical instruments (students of music schools / students / conservatory students) and their views about teaching excellence. The sample consisted of 236 students of traditional musical instruments, of whom 158 were students of music schools aged 12 to 18, while 59 were undergraduate students of university music departments and 19 were students of conservatories. The participants in the sample responded to a written questionnaire which was made by the researcher. Furthermore, 15 students from a sample school participated in a focus group in order to form a more complete picture of the students' opinion about how they really want their teacher to teach the traditional individual instrument.
