Teaching music in Romanian theological higher education from the perspective of the new musical teaching methods

Summary/Abstract: Byzantine music is not just a museum artifact but a living reality, present through the Orthodox Churches in the contemporary landscape and heard every Sunday by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of believers around the world. Obviously, and due to the fact that the worship of the Orthodox Church is mostly sung, church music occupies an important place in the education of young Orthodox theologians being a fundamental discipline of the curricula of the faculties of Orthodox theology. The present research aims to analyze, based on a study conducted with several theological students from western Romania, the possibility of improvements that can be made to the way music is taught in Romanian faculties of Orthodox theology.
