Abstract

<p>  The purpose of this study was to examine the correlations to a personality inventory and analyze the responses to a questionnaire obtained from students in a university music course. The questionnaire was composed of four categories ; reasons for entering a music course, possible factors that may have hindered entrance, adjustment to the course and perspective of the future. 67 female freshmen enrolled at the university in 2008 and 2009 were asked to answer the questionnaire and their responses were investigated with the Five Factor Inventory. Many of the items of the questionnaire were adopted from an earlier study by Sato (2001). </p><p>  The findings were as follows. The analysis of the questionnaire showed, with few exceptions, a consistency with the results of Sato's study (2001) which was conducted with students in a music college. From the investigation of the data from the questionnaire and the personality inventory, several significant correlations were found, and most of them could be explained from the five domains of personality traits. This may serve as a useful index in the educational guidance for music students. </p>
