The research was developed with 940 students (men and women) from Vitória (Es-</div><div>pirito Santo – Brazil). They confirmed mass media to be the key agent determining their</div><div>musical preferences, being the internet and the radio the most relevant, followed by T.V and</div><div>peer influence. This fact emphasizes the importance of creating new public policies that</div><div>favor the access and dissemination of music through different media, giving a special value</div><div>to its insertion in formal and non-formal education. The importance of this strategy lies in</div><div>the fact that it would probably help moderate the potential dominance of media agents over</div><div>educational figures and institutions</div> ER -
