This study examined the influence of parental musical interest; and academic background on children’s interest in music as a course of study. Two research questions and two hypotheses were raised to guide the study. The study used ex-post facto research design. The study sample comprised 390 Basic 9 Music students selected from the 12 public secondary schools in Uyo Local Government offering music using simple random sampling technique. Researcher-developed instrument titled: Parental Musical Interest, Background and Children Musical Interest Questionnaire (PMIBCMIQ), a 22-item opinion scale with four response options was used for data collection. The instrument had a reliability index of .84 determined using Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient formula. The results of data analysis using the independent t-test statistics showed that students whose parents are highly interested in music tend to be highly interested in musical studies too. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among others, that parents should properly guide their wards in their choice of career rather than dissuade them from their career of interest or try to force them into careers that they are not interested in.
