Self structuredtools were used to elicit data on music training and self concept. The data collected was organized, tabulated and analyzedusing appropriate statistical methods. The results of the research revealed that, about seventy-nine percent of the respondentswho had music training along with schooling felt that they were confident about themselves. Majority of the respondentsfrom academic study group and music training group were confident about them and considered failure as a stepping stone.An equal percentage (79%) of the academic and fifty percent of the music training group respondents reported that theyunderstood that the path to higher achievement is paved with many obstacles.
