Beschreibung
The study focuses on the Turkish parents’ perspectives regarding bilingualism and music education. Findings indicate that the participants’ positive beliefs are influenced by distal factors. However, the lack of their theoretical knowledge regarding the subjects seems to have a negative impact on these beliefs.
Research indicates that parents play an essential role in their children’s musical and language development. Moreover, neurocognitive studies point to the similarities between music and language processing. Based on the previous literature, the present study focuses on the Turkish immigrant parents’ beliefs and practices regarding bilingualism and music education. Interviews, observations and questionnaires are applied to generate qualitative data. Findings indicate that the participants’ positive beliefs are influenced by distal factors, such as cultural features, their own backgrounds, and socio-demographical characteristics. However, the lack of their theoretical knowledge regarding the subjects seems to have a negative impact on these beliefs.
