This exploratory study surveyed 118 music majors to investigate their music listening practices. The questionnaire specifically assessed musical tastes and examined the roles that listening plays in personal and professional activities. With regard to the amount of time spent in their daily lives, these music majors reported spending more than twice as much time listening to music (M = 24.1 hours per week) than practicing on their primary instrument/voice (M = 9.1 hours per week). The majority of that listening time was done for personal interest, rather than for their music studies. When asked to indicate the styles of music that make up the recordings they own, they more often cited vernacular styles (e.g., pop, rock, country, alternative, hip-hop) than formal (e.g., classical, choral, opera, wind band). As might be expected, these collegiate musicians reported applying a more analytic approach when listening to music for their studies, but a more emotional approach when listening to music outside of the scope of their studies.
