This thesis investigates the cultural conformation of music tutors and their students through the analysis of their views and educational practices, in a Music School of Attiki. Specifically, having the key concepts of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu as the major theoretical background, we examine how the musical habitus of tutors has been cultivated and what is the relationship between this musical habitus and the educational process. We also investigate whether social norms are reproduced through the emergence of a ‘ dominant ‘ taste of Western classical music, or if there is flexibility and integration of student’s cultures in the educational process. A variation in tutors’ musical habitus conformation was observed, which depends on both economic and cultural capital of their family background. Also it seemed that there are direct as well as indirect effects of their cultural capital on the educational process. Furthermore, it became apparent that the combination of formal and informal educational practices leads to the cultural formation of students. Specific conditions determine the recognition and utilization of students’ cultural capital, in order to
broaden the knowledge, experience and musical preferences which in turn accomplishes the goal of a general formation of an aesthetic disposition.
