Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at presenting philosophical assumptions of early music education. The introductory part draws the readers’ attention to the absence of any elements of early music education philosophy in Poland, even though such elements can be found both in the theory of aesthetic education and related music education theories. The first part of the article focuses on two opposite approaches, i. e., the aesthetic and the “praxial” one, presenting their philosophical background. After discussing the differences between one approach and the other, the author of the article presents her own idea how to reach a compromise between the aestheticians and the “praxialists”. The method she applies is the critical analysis of texts. The author suggests that the compromising solution, which she describes as an aesthetic-praxial one, should be applied as philosophical assumptions of early music education.
