Abstract	:	This case study explores the music-making and learning practices of an elementary student from Cyprus in different settings, inside and outside school. The musical knowledge of the 6th grade boy was gained from a diversity of music settings that covered a broad educational spectrum from highly structured and sequential to informal and enculturative. The purpose of study was to investigate student's attitudes, beliefs and feelings concerning different learning settings; the student's perceptions of the value of music experiences in these settings; and the intersections of music learning inside and outside school. The settings were school music classes, private piano lessons, community choir rehearsals, traditional folk dance ensemble, drum exploration, and composition-arrangement at home. Three themes emerged from the data. The first theme centered around the influences from others that motivated Leri's attendance and continuation in music classes. The second theme centered around the elements inherent to the settings themselves that facilitated learning and that made Leri want to engage. The last theme focused on thoughts about his future music making and the factors that affected his plans. The participant's enjoyment and valuing of the music settings was connected to his need for active and meaningful participation through which he could express his musical ideas.
