Summary/Abstract: The modern curricula and music textbooks for the high school course of the Bulgarian general education school should bring excellent results for the graduating students. But practically they graduate with poor musical proficiency and singing skills, with little knowledge of the music, unless they have gone through independent training. This article examines the probable cause of this educational problem by analyzing the development of the concepts of the subject reflected in the relevant textbooks from the early 50s of the 20th century to the present day.
