Uppsatsen syftar till att söka svar på hur viktigt det är att människan i vårt samhälle ser på sig själv som en musikalisk individ och hur viktigt det är att andra också gör det. Spelar musikaliteten någon roll för oss människor eller är det kuriosa, något extra och roligt som vissa har stor glädje av men som andra inte saknar i någon större utsträckning? Forskningsfrågorna som använts är: Vad händer när man får veta att man är ?omusikalisk?? Hur framförs beskedet och hur har det förändrats från andra halvan av 1900-talet och fram till idag? Uppsatsen baseras på teorier om musikalitet och identitet. Metoderna är kvalitativa och utgår från narrativa metoder med sitt ursprung i Labov (1972) och hans modell för berättelseanalys vilken även skulle kunna beskrivas som diskursanalytisk. De berättelser som ligger till grund för studien kommer från sex informanter i åldrarna 18-58.

On the advice of Queen Herodias, Salome's mother, she asks the head of prophet John on a platter. Herod is horrified, but grants Salome's desire.This is the first in a series of Salome petitions as Mark and Matthew in the New Testament. Salome has since then never ceased to fascinate artists and writers through the ages.
