Bendrasis muzikinis ugdymas Lietuvoje: raida ir kryptys : (XX-XXI a. pradžia) : monografija

Abstract

At the end of the 20th century a unique opportunity for the rebirth of Lithuanian nation arose - new ways and possibilities to reorganise people's lives were set up. After the independence was re-established and socio-economic qualities were changed from their foundational level, the need to implement essential education reform arose - to organise the education of the younger generations in a new way, while striving for higher goals. The main purpose of the reform - "independent and creative personality, being able to fully show and nurture her talents even at school" (Lithuanian Education conception, 1992). It is emphasised that education should help people to "learn the main human values and base their lives on them; develop critical thinking, thus giving the ability to consider essential questions in human existence <...>". Consequently, it is strived to develop each and every pupils' intellect, general and artistic competence, sense of culture; the learning process is aimed to be a motivated and meaningful process for everybody. When carrying out musical upbringing in a school, it is not enough to develop voice, musical hearing, the feeling of rhythm, musical composition analysis skills. Musical upbringing has to help solve the main human upbringing problems more efficiently. Thus broader upbringing factors are gaining ever increasing importance among teachers: clear evaluation of the cultural level and the perception of perspective, the purpose of musical upbringing, its contents and the nature of the process where the forming of cultural moral and spiritual values is emphasised; the occurrence of artistic-spiritual values and many more. In this context the task arises to explore traditional and various newly formed musical upbringing concepts, integrate musical teaching technologies into the development of social culture within a human being as a spiritual person
