Factors Affecting Satisfaction with Music Activities among Students in the Music Program at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting satisfaction with music activities among students in the Music Program at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. A quantitative research method was used, with a sample group consisting of 65 second- and third-year students from the Music Program. Data were collected using a satisfaction assessment tool, which focused on several areas of evaluation: relationships with band members and conductors, types of music activities, available support and facilities, venues for music activities, duration of activities, and knowledge of music performance.
The findings indicated that students were satisfied with music activities in all areas studied, particularly with respect to receiving feedback from fellow band members and the fairness of interactions. Additionally, students expressed high satisfaction with the selection of appropriate music activities (e.g., choral groups and contemporary music ensembles), as well as the adequacy of supporting resources, such as sound equipment. The suitability of venues, both indoor and outdoor, also contributed to their satisfaction. Furthermore, students were pleased with the duration of the activities and the sound adjustments made during performances.
The results highlight the importance of organizing high-quality music activities that align with student needs, as these contribute to the effective development of musical skills and performance experiences. Future curriculum and music activity planning should consider these findings to improve and better meet students' satisfaction.
