Sažetak
The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between music education and musical preferences for different tempo and tonality and to explore what personality traits of the Big five-factor model contribute to the explanation of individual differences in musical preferences. The survey included 202 female and male students of the University of Split who were selected on the basis of their music education. Music compact disc containing 16 musical excerpts, Questionnaire for testing musical preference and Questionnaire for personality traits were used. The results confirmed the significant effects of music education and music characteristics on the musical preferences. Participants with the highest degree of music education enjoy all musical examples alike, regardless of musical characteristics, while other participants reported a significantly higher degree of liking the music in major key and fast tempo. Music education was a significant predictor in explaining musical preferences for major key music in fast tempo, while openness to experience was significant in predicting preferences for the minor music in slow tempo.
