Abstract

The basic doctrine for the music education in most of the countries in the world supports the fact that, starting with the youngest age, it contributes for the development of the children and better results in the other areas of the educational system. These opinions emerge from a great number of researches that stress the benefits from the music education for the development of the personality of the young population, as: IQ, cognitive abilities, spatial-visual perception, motor abilities, verbal abilities, etc. The contemporary standpoints in the developmental psychology of the music stress out the need for a greater music activity of the child in the educational institutions. The latest research carried out in order to observe the treatment of the subject Music education in the elementary education in the state schools for general education is Skopje, show that the teaching topics of this subject receive insufficient attention by the teachers. This thesis led us to conduct a research that will give us a clear image for the reasons that lead to this condition, especially bearing in mind the fact that the teaching program, which is realized in the course of the studies, completely satisfies the needs for the realization of the education of this subject. The general conclusion from this research gives a picture of a weakly developed general musical culture of the respondents, i.e. the future teaching staff. For this purpose, the Faculty of Pedagogy teaches the following subjects: Basics of the music education with methodology, Musical instruments and Choir and orchestra (elective subject) which are in the function of practical realization of the teaching program in the elementary education. Several years backwards the education is carried out by the use of contemporary methods for the teaching of the mentioned subjects through: practical playing of different musical instruments (individual and group education), technical aids – DVD and CD through which the students are introduced with the rich musical literature from the area of the classical music, adequate textbooks and manuals for enrichment of the musical knowledge. Experience has shown that this approach enables a practical music education and mastering of the musical skills. All this gives opportunities for elevation of the consciousness of the future teaching staff for the subject Music education, elevation of the general musical culture and gaining of greater self-confidence, all of which represent a prerequisite for an appropriate transformation of the musical knowledge into practice as a very important segment in the development of the personality of the young population.

Key words: Music education, future teaching staff, attitude to the music education, initial education, putting theory into practice
