Rekrutteringen til de utøvende musikkutdanningene i Norge

Abstract

The admission to the music performance programs in Norway is not coordinated. There are good reasons for that, but it also presents some challenges. An example of these is that there are no surveys at the national level of the changes over time in the number of applicants to the classical and popular music performance programs. The article contributes to new knowledge and insight in this area in that it explains and discusses the findings of three empirical studies in the 2000s, studies that provide the basis for answering the question: Is it in Norway today more applicants to the popular music educations than to the classical ones?
