There have been few research studies of the social and emotional issues facing musically gifted students, let alone those facing musically gifted male adolescents. The aim of this study is to add to our limited knowledge of this area by examining the experiences of 6 musically gifted high school male students living in Taiwan. The study's research design was a qualitative multi-case study involving document review, observation, and indepth interviews with students and their teachers. Major themes uncovered were narrow social circle, gender discrimination, non-self-serving and effort-oriented attribution, more pressure from academics than from music learning, and worrying about their music career. These themes were discussed in the context of the existing literature, and implications for the education of the gifted were presented. |
