Four hundred forty one elementary school students and four hundred eighty middle and high school students responded a survey that designed questionnaire used to ascertain their experience of musical activities in and out of school except regular school music classes; their music-arts enjoyment; and the music-arts programs they would like to participate in. The data revealed: 1) elementary school students had more musical experience in and out of school than secondary school ones; 2) elementary school students had more chance to have music-arts enjoyment than secondary school ones; 3) the overall students preferred listening to music the most and creating music the least; 4) elementary school students preferred playing music to listening it, whereas secondary school students preferred listening to music the most; 5) both students had an overwhelming preference for popular music to any other music; 6) the overall students did not have much chance to attend musical concerts and events; and 7) most of the students willing to participate in singing and/or playing programs. The conclusions and implications are as follows: it is of necessity to develop various music-arts programs to provide students with integrated musical activities and practical musical experience based on their interest. Diverse musical genres should be utilized in music-arts programs. The programs that students are able to enjoy high-quality music should be given in school.
