Abstract(s)
Understanding the motivations, objectives, advantages and constraints
in participating in music activities is the topic for the present investigation, organized
as an exploratory and descriptive study. In this communication we point
out the results of our investigation, analysing what music means in the lives of
individuals and identifying the advantages and constraints felt in participating in
musical activities. A questionnaire survey “Music in lifelong learning (MALV)”
and the scales “SWLS—Satisfaction with life scale” and “Subjective Happiness
Scale (SHS)” were applied to our target audience, defined according to the following
criteria: age over 65 years, involved in some activity with music. The results
point to medium or high levels of satisfaction with life associated with pleasure
and a sense of accomplishment in the performance of musical activities.
