self-endorsement of one’s actions” (Pendergast, 2022)


“Autonomy often focuses on the humanization of the students by recognizing student emotions, concerns, effort, and ability”

(Reeve & Jang, 2006).

    self-concept of musicianship was an important predictor of students’ interest in future music participation” (Demorest et al., 2017, Adams, 2021)

    Both Bartolome (2003) and Adderly et al. (2013) found that students highly valued the sense of belonging that is derived from musically engaging with peer musicians, the friendships that emerge from the ensembles, and the sense of pride that comes with participating in a prestigious group.

    It can simply be the perception of being part of the larger program, or more external through community connections.
