EXPLORING THE FLOW EXPERIENCE AMONG MUSIC STUDENTS AND MUSIC TEACHERS

The flow’s elements were formulated by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi (1975). People who have experienced flow have reported that there is nothing but the activity that engages them. The feeling of flow occurs during an activity that requires preparation, has clear goals, and provides immediate feedback. It engages full attention of the person, it takes control of the mind and the person is immersed in the action while doing it. The sense of time is transformed and finally, these elements create an auto telic experience. This study’s goal is to explore the flow among music teachers and music students from 11 different music schools and to provide insight into a research that is still ongoing. It is hypothesized, that the time spent teaching a teaching influences the flow experience. Also, the music students’ learning in music secondary schools flow values are lower than the students’ flow values learning music in primary schools.
