Today's music educator must attempt to remain aware
of prevalent styles of music in popular culture and
the rapidly changing musical landscape in today's
popular culture makes this a challenge. The purpose
of this study was to review the music preference
findings of Leblanc (1979) utilizing the most common
styles of popular music in today's media. Seven
styles of popular music along with traditional jazz,
and Romantic classical music were rated for
preference by students in the fifth grade and college
non-music majors. These preference indications were
compared based on age, gender, environment of
upbringing, and amounts and types of music training.
Results indicated greatest preference for punk rock
music among fifth graders and pop rock among college
non-music majors. All subjects least preferred
country music, traditional jazz, and Romantic
classical music. Responses were found to differ
significantly based on gender, music training, and
types of music training. These results may be
helpful to music educators as they consider content
for their classes,while preference researchers will
benefit from the continued study of style preference.
