Musical Activities with 1st – 4th Grade Elementary School Children

Summary/Abstract: Music has been present in upbringing and education since the beginning of human civilization up to this day. One has always believed in its educational power, and many contemporary researches have proved its positive influence on overall human development. The very concept of musical education has been developing from the one where music was used as a method in upbringing and education up to the contemporary one that seeks to cleanse it of out-of-music goals and strives towards „upbringing for music through music“. Guided by that principle, the activity of listening and getting to know artistic values of musical pieces has been put in the focus of contemporary musical education in order to develop musical taste in students, while singing, playing and musical creativity are optional. The subject of this paper is the aforementioned musical activities that are practiced with students from the 1st to the 4th grade of elementary school in the course of regular teaching and extracurricular activities. The goal of the paper is to determine the position and role of musical activities in contemporary education, as well as the way of their implementation in practical teaching.
