Aspects of Motivation in Shaping the Vocational-Musical Identity
Aspects of Motivation in Shaping the Vocational-Musical Identity

Summary/Abstract: The present study is interdisciplinary and it intersects psychology, educational sciences and music. Vocational identity is a concept and a reality, on which we rely, in the educational-vocational environment. It is the marker, which allows in a reference field like this of music, to form and contain artists, valuable creators, as future managers of a truly aesthetic cultural-musical environment. Starting from personality, values, skills, needs, and discovering motivation and its awareness mechanisms, a young person can be truly active in the professional-artistic environment. Intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, each represent a type of predictor of vocational identity. Often, gratification, in its various forms, can transform and modify vocational identity, by elevation or decline. The research I have carried out on the target group of students of the Faculty of Arts, Music field, Music and Musical Interpretation-Canto specializations (bachelor and master), is an approach to objectify the fidelity of the choice of vocational identity, correlated with motivation and gratification.
