Activity of Social Associations which Support Musical Education for Children and Adolescents in the Ignacy Jan Paderewski 1st and 2nd Degree State Music School in Piotrków Trybunalski

Summary/Abstract: Regional cultural associations operate in every bigger town. In Piotrków Trybunalski, two circumstances favoured it, namely the increasing number of inhabitants with at least secondary education and the possibility to receive budgetary subsidies for statutory activity. According to the Act on the Education System of 7th September 1991, No. 1 art. 56, a music school can host associations and other organisations, with the exception of political parties and organisations, whose statutory aim is an educational activity or broadening and enrichment of forms of teaching, educational and supportive activity of the school. They assist the schools in propagating musical culture in the region by organising musical courses and workshops, co-organising concerts of invited artists, purchasing instruments and teaching aid. They also make it possible to organise, finance and conduct interesting, alternative forms of education in the school. The Ignacy Jan Paderewski 1st and 2nd Degree State Musical School in Piotrków Trybunalski is such a school, as it has co-operated with the Friends of Artistic Centres Association since 1951 and with the Franciszek Lessel Piotrków Musical Society since 1984. It is worth mentioning that the seats of both these non-governmental institutions are located in the school building. The aim of this article is to present the role and importance of both social organisations in the development of musical education of young people from Piotrków.
