ABSTRACT: This
article is a case study focused on a music conservatory in southern Spain
regarding the implications of the female gender in the academic and
professional performance of music students. Through study of data from the
Ministry of Culture, the center’s
secretariat and a more extensive survey carried out on the promotions of
students who have completed their studies, it has been possible to observe a
number of aspects showing a series of significant differences in terms of
academic and professional performance between male and female music students,
without concluding there is real discrimination.
