In today's urbanized, rapidly changing, interconnected world, adolescents need sensitive, responsive teaching as they develop social, individual, and cultural identities. This study combines conventional techniques and microchip technology to explore musical responses among youth of two cultures in one cosmopolitan urban setting.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In today's urbanized, rapidly changing, interconnected world, adolescents need sensitive, responsive teaching as they develop social, individual, and cultural identities. This study combines conventional techniques and microchip technology to explore musical responses among youth of two cultures in one cosmopolitan urban setting.
520 $a Theoretical and experimental literature were examined concerning musical taste and preference as well as the role of music in adolescence, education, and culture. Early studies assumed that educators should inculcate musical "taste," or socially established musical values. Later, educators acknowledged that musical preference can vary with a host of cultural, social, individual and economic forces. This study takes the latter view.
520 $a Chinese and Western adolescents in Hong Kong reflected their musical preferences in two experiments. First, 282 eighth graders in a British school and an American school and 394 eighth graders in three Chinese schools responded on rating scales to a Musical Preference Survey consisting of 19 varied musical excerpts. Significant differences were found between the two groups both in t-tests on individual items and in profile analyses, especially for Chinese music. Results were comparable to but less dramatic than those of a similar study by the researcher in 1974.
520 $a Second, 40 students from one Chinese school and 30 from the American school individually listened to two jazz selections on a synthesizer-sequencer while manipulating the dynamic levels of six instrumental tracks, the tempo, and the overall volume. Significant differences appeared in t-tests among the responses of the two groups for each of the instrumental tracks, but no differences appeared in profile analyses. Compared to the Chinese, Westerners favored faster tempi and lower initial dynamic settings for each track but increased overall volume.
520 $a The study concluded that Chinese students in Hong Kong are more open than Western students toward a variety of music, especially that of their own culture. However, the two groups differed not in preference for certain musical elements but in how they responded to the overall effect. The synthesizer-sequencer was found to be a promising tool for direct observation of musical behavior among adolescents.
