Abstract
The theory of planned behavior (TPB) has been employed as a theoretical framework that predicts and explains an individual’s intention to engage in a certain behavior. The TPB postulates that an individual’s behavior is influenced by behavioral intentions, and behavioral intentions are caused by three distinct factors: attitude toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control. To holistically understand factors influencing students’ intentions for continued music participation, this article examines music education studies focused on various factors related to student intention to persist in music based on the TPB. This review of literature will support researchers in determining the direction of future investigation of students’ intentions for continued engagement in music. Furthermore, understanding and documenting these factors in student intention could aid music educators in creating teaching strategies focused on increasing student continuation in musical activities.
