Summary/Abstract: Teaching of Music education was right from the beginning of music development characterized by the different functions in the perception of the music, which has, of course, changed significantly during the evolution of music. Music education is not just singing, the significant part of a comprehensive music education includes also the ability to listen to the music. At the time listening to the music works of art emotionally affected human emotional relationships between people, towards society and nation. The basic set of recommended songs of composers – home and international – has not changed much during almost whole century, as has not the main goal of music education: teaching students to establish diverse contacts with the music, so they would be able to accept and understand music as a special means of understanding the world. Lack of teaching children to “classical music” and our failure to awaken a direct interest in music, must lead to the fact that the current general music education almost does not contribute to the education of future listeners of artificial music.
