Music preferences have been shown to be determined by a diversity of factors such as cognitive, emotional, cultural, or experiential. Having studied music is also a factor that has been considered from a musicology standpoint and is linked to the accumulation of cultural capital, as analyzed in cultural economics, arts management, and the sociology of culture. Research on how music studies influence music genre preferences shed light on the role that music education plays in the stock of cultural capital individuals hold. To do so, an exploratory empirical survey was undertaken using self-administered questionnaires targeted to a sample of 231 students. Findings, after performing multivariate analysis, showed that knowledge or familiarity plays an important role in music genre preferences. Specifically, having studied music affects the choice of music genres. These results contribute to the literature on music preferences, and specifically on their determinants, establishing the connection of music education with the accumulation of cultural capital and its influence on the formation of music genre preferences.

音乐偏好已被证明是由认知、情感、文化或经验等多种因素决定的。学习过音乐也是从音乐学的角度考虑的一个因素，它与文化资本的积累有关，正如文化经济学、艺术管理和文化社会学所分析的那样。关于音乐研究如何影响音乐流派偏好的研究揭示了音乐教育在个人持有的文化资本存量中所起的作用。为此，使用针对 231 名学生样本的自我管理问卷进行了探索性实证调查。进行多变量分析后的结果表明，知识或熟悉度在音乐流派偏好中起着重要作用。具体来说，学过音乐会影响音乐流派的选择。这些结果有助于有关音乐偏好的文献，特别是其决定因素，建立音乐教育与文化资本积累的联系及其对音乐流派偏好形成的影响。
