Artystyczny i pedagogiczny wymiar kształcenia muzycznego dzieci i młodzieży

Abstract

The author briefly reviews curriculums for teaching music in Polish schools according to the new 2009 curriculum assumptions. It includes the thesis stating that a very important factor increasing the youth’s interest in learning music is motivation. She refers to the results of her own research on reasons for learning music by elementary and high school students. In her research she used Zygmunt Putkiewicz’s and Wojciech Figurski’s modified test. The obtained results indicate that teaching music at school is a very important stage in shaping an adult’s culture foundations. It is the educational role of a teacher and family that student’s sympathetic response to activities regarding widely understood musical education depends on.
