Introduction Music orientation basically means the individual's general attitude towards music. This may be active or passive (hobby or no hobby) and positive or negative by nature. The musically restricted is a group of people to whom music has no meaning. Their musical orientation has become negative and it has stayed passive. This phenomenon has not been widely researched and it has been discovered after the year 2000. Only a couple of articles have been written about it before this one. Some small researches (Syrjäkosk, i 2005) have been done on the basis of case research. The phenomenon was first mentioned in 2000 (Juvonen, 2000) and it seems to be rather uncommon (2-4% of people seem to belong to the group.)Aim of the Study To recognize the prevalence of the phenomenon and to find out the reasons which lead into its forming.Materials and Methods This research is based on the data collected in 2005 with the help of an internet questionnaire which was answered in 36 schools in different parts of Finland. The total number of respondents was 426 out of which there were 239 female and 186 male respondents.The qualitative analysis was done using text-analysis, classification and categorizing. The quantitative analysis included simple per cent frequencies, the usual statistical key figures (mean, median, mode, stated division) and cross tabling with the background variables. In cross tabling the significance level was for the chi squire p-value was 0.05.Results and Conclusions It was clearly shown that the music orientation begins forming in early childhood. The number and the emotional charge of musical memories and musical experiences in childhood seem to be in significant connection with the development of the musical restriction as well as the music orientation. Also the conceptions, values and example as well as the atmosphere at home are important factors in later music-relation of the child.

In this article we form a review-like vision of the development of Finnish music educational system. We use a philosophic-historic method combining the historical events into the educational theories and philosophical points of view. We use conceptions from music sociology and musicology combined in educational and partly historical point of view. The aim of the study is to find similar elements in the development of Finnish music education and positivistic and behaviouristic theories. The power structures and the ways of action are analyzed and estimated in spirit of discussion and opening new perspectives in the Finnish music education institutes which are struggling for survival in close future. Our findings show that old traditional ways of thinking and developing music education systems and organisations have come to the end of the road and new winds must start blowing. New research, the explosion-like development in music culture and music industry set new demands also to music education and institutions. The turtle defence no longer works and music culture must be seen as multidimensional many-sided part of every human being’s life.

In this article we focus on the world of colour associations and atmospheres experienced by a famous and successful piano pedagogue. The aim of the study is to open one point of view inside the phenomenon of synaesthesia through one case which is truly reliable. This case study is based on personal interviews with the pedagogue (August 16-19, 1999, and April 27, 2010), and the findings are anchored theoretically in the synaesthetic experience. The article subtitles are the themes and subjects used in the interviews, and the free association discussions have been shaped into more structured form. To express the events in a way that is similar to the real life experiences, we have quoted the interviewee directly in our text. The article shows one individual´s way of experiencing, seeing and feeling the world of sounds and voices. It is concluded that the synaesthesia experiences of the target of the case study were genuine and they were repeated in two different interviews. Synaesthesia is a real phenomenon and not fake in any point of view
