There is a discrepancy between a high inherent value of extracurricular music classes and a low proportion of low-socioeconomic status (SES) male participants. However, evidence on how to match out-of-school music classes to students’ preferences is lacking. Thus, we assessed the attractiveness of different versions of such classes via an experimental video vignette study featuring a 2 × 2-factor (setting × music; each with high vs. low proximity to informal youth culture) between-subjects design with N = 244 students (Grade 5–10). We assessed the intention to participate as criterion, and gender, age, and SES (highest International Socio-Economic Index [HISEI] quartile) as control variables. A hierarchical regression showed a positive effect of music associated with youth culture on intention and no effect of the setting. Female (and older) students displayed higher intention than male (and younger) students. The single effect involving HISEI was a significant interaction of music and SES, which resulted from high-SES adolescents being especially motivated for classes with music associated with youth culture. Thus, to motivate boys and older students in particular, special consideration should be given to the appropriate design and marketing of music classes. However, music close to youth culture might be especially beneficial for adolescents with high rather than low SES.

课外音乐课的固有价值高和低社会经济地位（SES）男性参与者比例低之间存在差异。但是，缺乏有关如何将校外音乐课与学生的喜好相匹配的证据。因此，我们通过一项具有2×2因子（设定值×音乐；每个人与非正式青年文化的亲和力高或低）的实验视频小插图研究，以N为主题，评估了此类课程的不同版本的吸引力。 = 244名学生（5-10年级）。我们评估了参与意愿的标准，并将性别，年龄和SES（最高国际社会经济指数[HISEI]四分位数）作为控制变量。分层回归显示与青年文化相关的音乐对意图有积极影响，但对环境没有影响。女学生（和年龄较大的学生）比男学生（和年龄较小的学生）表现出更高的意愿。涉及HISEI的唯一影响是音乐与SES的显着相互作用，这是由于高SES的青少年特别愿意参加与青年文化相关的音乐课。因此，为了特别激励男孩和大学生，应该特别考虑音乐课程的适当设计和营销。然而，
