Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Theatre Arts-Arts Administration.
Parents of young musicians have a major effect on their children in regard to their chosen musical path. In order for some of these musicians to succeed, they have to be forced to improve their talents. Parents even turn into “stage mothers and fathers” so their child can be successful. Research and even reality television has explored parental effect on young athletes and academics but little research has been completed with regard to young musicians. For this project, approximately 200 youth orchestra and college musicians were surveyed. For the youth orchestra sector, the members of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Baldwin-Wallace Senior Youth Orchestra were chosen. In the college sector, Baldwin-Wallace College Symphony Orchestra and the University of Akron Symphony Orchestra were selected. The surveys consisted of 24 questions for the youth orchestra members and 20 questions for the college musicians. The questions address such issues as seating and financial support.
