Abstract
This article has tried to show the importance of cultural capital in the formation of music learning process in Iran. The instrument studied in this thesis is the piano and it has moved forward based on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital of the French society of the 20th century. From Bourdieu's point of view, cultural capital includes the understanding and knowledge of culture, beauty, sublime arts, having general knowledge, good taste, and appropriate behavioral methods that originate from the family background and the type of class of the individual. Bourdieu believes that the presence of high cultural capital in a person can have a serious effect on the development of his artistic activities, this research tries to measure the nature of this theory and the importance and impact of the child's cultural capital in relation to music education. In order to show the importance of cultural capital in the student's learning, it is not only the child's musical intelligence that can affect her late or early learning. Rather, the amount of his cultural capital can have a key effect on the learning process. In this research, the research method of qualitative content analysis has been used.
