Summary/Abstract: The article presents subjective and critical analysis of current music education. The analysis is based on long and meditative pedagogical experience. The most visible problem of modern musical culture is inconsistency of musical reality, in which young people live and the language of Music subject. It is mainly connected with the ignorance of characteristic modern social practices such as consumerism and inapplicability of didactic aims in music. In my opinion it is one of the main reasons of discrepancy between music curriculum and musical aspirations and interests of students. The aim of this article is to present current model of music education, indicate weaknesses of this issue and show eventual possibilities in changing the approach of young people to art music. The article is divided into a few sections, which present basic issues about music education, the recognition of symptoms of consumerism and the conclusion.
