Parenting styles and parental involvement in children's music learning / Faqhira Idayu Ismail

Parenting styles and parental involvement is an important factor in children's music learning. Baumrind's four parenting styles provided the framework for this study which aims to understand to what extent the parenting styles {authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and uninvolved) influence parents' involvement in their children's music learning. This study utilized a mixed methods approach and was conducted in two phases. A survey questionnaire was used for the quantitative method and interview questions for the qualitative method. In Phase 1, a total of two hundred
(n = 200) parents who sent their children to private music lessons participated in this study. For Phase 2, twelve respondents from Phase 1 were interviewed. All respondents from Phase 2 were parents from among the authoritative parenting style as no parents from the authoritarian, permissive and uninvolved parenting styles were willing to participate and be interviewed.
