Abstract

Music education in Malaysia has been through various stages of development that finally got its recognition in formal education in public schools in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to identify the perceptions of the community towards music education. Over the years, the curriculum in Malaysia has changed where music is a component in arts education and takes only 30 minutes from the one-hour slots in the primary schools. This circumstance has impacted the teaching and learning of music in schools and further impacted the intake of students and music education at the tertiary level. In addition to this circumstance, it will also affect the community. Therefore, this study has been conducted by reviewing three videos of people's perceptions of music education. On the ground of this, this study focused on a qualitative research method by collecting data and reviewing the data from the videos chosen.
