Summary/Abstract: In the present essay we present the actual musical education in Romania with reference to the history of the musical education of the post World War II period of the 1950s, which is important because, as we will see, no essential changes have been made since then. As regarding the professional musical education, the 1950s model of the institutional system is still functioning, except that in a large number and with more institutions. Due to the local initiatives, opportunities for musical studies are remarkable, but they are not institutionalized and do not offer a certificate. The prestige of the music lessons in the public education has changed for the worse, though there are more, better trained music teachers that are working now, as compared to the period before the change of the social system (1990). We will also present the reasons of this paradoxical phenomenon.
