ADOLESCENCE, MUSIC AND EMOTIONS. AN IDIOGRAPHIC APPROACH

Summary/Abstract: Phylogenesis and ontogenesis confirm the importance music has in man’s life. It is considered to accompany man during the entire life, from birth until death. Every age has its own music and rhythms… According to age psychology, it is well known that adolescence and post-adolescence close the first cycle of human development. Out of the two, the adolescence period has always raised the researchers’ interest, being carefully investigated. The interest granted to this period even led to the development of a distinct new field, namely that of the teenage psychology, which gave birth to a study subject for the teachers to be, at the Master’s Degree program level, in Romania, called the Psycho-pedagogy of teenagers, youths and adults. This article shall not insist on the theoretical components concerning the teenage years, also detailed in the specialized literature, but it is an attempt at scanning the teenage soul, through music, based on the analysis of the papers produced by 1st year Master’s Degree Program students, attending the National Music University in Bucharest, and handed in for the study subject of the Psycho-pedagogy of teenagers, young people and adults.
