Abstract

This study delves into the profound realm of the art of music, exploring its multifaceted nature involving the creation of sounds, melodies, and forms. These elements, permeating through singing, playing, and auditory experiences, become a medium for emotional expression deeply rooted within human beings. The realization of this expressive potential necessitates positive support from art enthusiasts, recognizing its profound impact on emotional maturity. Focusing on the impact of music on the emotional intelligence of adolescents, this paper adopts a comprehensive research approach. Employing the interview method and questionnaire surveys, the study gathers data from respondents, subsequently subjecting it to rigorous analysis using the correlation method approach. The findings indicate a compelling relationship between musical art (X) and adolescent emotional intelligence (Y). Correlation test results, with the calculated value (r count) surpassing the table value (0.6726 > 0.3120), highlight a statistically significant association. The t-test reinforces this conclusion, with a calculated t-value of 5.0631 exceeding the table value of 2.4285 (t count > t table). This robust statistical evidence strengthens the assertion of a positive and substantial relationship between musical art and adolescent emotional intelligence. In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights by establishing a clear and quantifiable link between the art of music and the emotional intelligence of adolescents. The implications of this research extend to educational and developmental contexts, emphasizing the role of musical engagement in fostering emotional intelligence among the youth.
