Book Description:
This book brings an overview of the Slovene system of music education in general and music schools and compares it to the situation in some other European countries, through the entire vertical of music education. In particular, the focus is on the teaching and learning strategies applied in Slovene kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in the framework of modern curriculum planning which follows the objective-oriented and developmental models of planning as well as the holistic and global approach, taking into account the complexity of learning in cognitive, affective-social and motor dimensions of development. This book presents some models of culture and arts education in Slovenia, hoping that they would encourage a better systemic cooperation between educational and cultural institutions.
