Effects of Classical Music on Learning of the Performing Arts Students at Bestlink College of the Philippines

Abstract

The researcher acknowledges the importance of creativity and innovation in terms of discovering more methods or strategies in improving the intellectual growth of an individual. In this case, the researchers would like to focus on using music to affect the learning behavior of the Performing Arts (PA) students based on the Suggestopedia Theory of Learning. The researchers expect PA students to react positively to using classical music for the improvement of their academic performance. The descriptive research design was used in this study to determine and identify the characteristics of a population being studied. The questionnaire was used in gathering data which included social learning, academic learning, and social interaction. There were fifty (50) PA students who were chosen randomly. The data gathered were analyzed qualitatively. Strategies and solutions were built that could be used to lessen low learning behavior through the use of classical music. Likewise, social interaction, academic motivation, and attitude would be boosted. There were varied descriptions and all of the assessment were significant in the analysis and interpretation of the gathered data. Based on the analysis, using classical music was one of the steps to encourage the students to learn more and to socialize with others. The implementation of classical music was a constant factor in the success of innovation. Using classical music is recommended to students with low learning behavior to enhance their personality in social interaction.
