Abstract
In this study, based on the self-determination theory (SDT), the motivation for music learning was investigated. To this end, first, the basic principles of SDT are identified. Then, the research on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in music learning is synthesized and analyzed. And finally, psychological needs support from teachers, parents, and in educational setting was examined. As a result of the study, SDT was effective in understanding the complexity of music learning motivation by conceptualizing methods that can strengthen or weaken both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in music learning. In particular, it was found that teachers, parents, and the learning environment were major factors in supporting psychological needs that enhance or weaken students' autonomous participation in music. In this study, these results were discussed, and issues to be considered in follow-up studies and educational fields were suggested.
