The present study firstly clarifies aspects of institutional and chronological order regarding syllabi developments in the musical disciplines. It then clarifies strategic and conceptual aspects of developing new syllabi in the domain, the legal basis and priorities from the new syllabi structures. Some problems and challenges in the development of the syllabi are brought to attention, which can constitute threats for the system. It presents several novelties and opportunities which the discipline syllabi offer, the most important of which are correlation and gradation of informations over the course of the 2 teaching cycles, diversification, balancing and modernization of repertoire lists and last but not least encouraging the use of novel technologies.
