Abstract
Motivation is a key word in the arts and, especially, in music since it conveys collective, as
well as individual, feelings. The beginning of musical instrument learning should be based
on the student’s musical interest but, due to the casual and improvised nature of everyday
situations in which the choice of a musical instrument takes place, tend to underestimate
the attention that such interest deserves. This research paper seeks to expound on the lack
of knowledge by students as regards musical instruments and on the powerful influence
over them by instrumentalists in their environment.
