Parental conceptualisations of participation in musical culture as exemplified by parents of first level music school students in Poland. A phenomenographic reconstruction

The paper presents the results of research conducted among parents of children attending music school. Its aim was to phenomenographically reconstruct the ways of conceptualising participation in musical culture. The analysis of the collected research material allowed for the identification of a number of categories indicating the individual and social contexts of this participation. The issues related to cultural competences, different ways of perceiving the music by the surveyed persons are of particular interest. The contexts relating to the family, its mechanisms and establishment of family ties also deserve special attention.
