Previous research has found that music therapists, who work with geriatric clients in singing activities, indicated they know and use 3 times more popular or popular style music (songs from musicals) than folk songs. The purposes of the current study were to determine music therapy majors' recognition of popular songs and songs from musicals by asking whether they: (a) had heard the songs before, (b) could "name the tune" of each song, and (c) list the decade each song was composed. Results showed that students had previously heard many of the songs; however, this was not an indication of whether they could name the song title or the decade in which it was composed. Additionally, percentage data indicated that My Favorite Things and You Are My Sunshine were the most heard/recognized songs, Over the Rainbow was the most correctly named song title, and Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue was the song most correctly identified by decade. Further results and discussion are included.
先前的研究发现，从事老年客户歌唱活动的音乐治疗师表示，他们了解并使用的流行音乐或流行风格音乐（音乐剧中的歌曲）是民歌的3倍。本研究的目的是通过询问音乐治疗专业学生是否：（a）以前听过这些歌曲，（b）能“唱出歌曲旋律”，以及（c）列出每首歌曲的创作年代，来确定他们对流行歌曲和音乐剧中歌曲的认知情况。结果显示，学生们以前听过许多歌曲；然而，这并不表明他们能否说出歌曲的标题或创作年代。此外，百分比数据表明，《我最喜爱的事物》和《你是我的阳光》是被听过/认出最多的歌曲，《飞越彩虹》是被正确说出歌名最多的歌曲，而《五英尺二英寸，忧郁的眼睛》是被正确识别创作年代最多的歌曲。文中还包含了进一步的结果和讨论。
