Summary/Abstract: The paper about the vocal pedagogues having worked in Varna traces the emergence and development of the subject ‘singing’ from the Liberation until today. The musicians, who have contributed to this development, are presented personally; the attempts to found a musical school in Varna where the subject ‘singing’ is to have professional understanding and preparation; the vocal pedagogues who worked in the State Music School established in 1944 later named after Dobri Hristov; the pedagogues from the operetta set up in 1947 and the opera singers working privately as vocal pedagogues are all mentioned. All who depending on their possibilities contributed to this development in the years they worked. A great number of them are already deceased and the traces of their deeds are disappearing. Varna National Opera and the Music School (now - Secondary School of Arts) have no archives that could be used as a point of reference in respect to facts - names, dates, events. Therefore the studies are based on private archives preserved by their inheritors, on personal conversations with the remaining living pedagogues.
