This book informs the reader of a study that explores  the music development, achievement and aspirations of  adolescent students participating in pre-tertiary  specialised music programs. A theoretical model is  developed for the study to investigate the role and  influence of such training in the development of  music skills, and explores relationships amongst  music experience, music engagement, interpersonal and  intrapersonal relationships, personal learning  styles, and affective response to music.    The data source for the study is a pre-tertiary  Australian music program. The study was conducted  over two years, used a large student population, a  small group of case studies, and combined  contemporaneous and retrospective approaches.      This study enhances understanding of the conditions  through which music development is nurtured; it  confirms the importance of exposure and opportunity,  the collective efforts of the family and community,  and the need for hard work and perseverance to  usually be exercised by young musicians themselves.    Extensive appendices contain case-study reports,  reflective journals, interviews, surveys, tasks and  tests.
