Parents usually enroll children who want to pursue music more intensively in music schools. Such schools are most often organized at the state level and are legally regulated for the entire education vertical. In primary music schools, students are involved in various musical activities within the framework of instrument lessons, solfeggio, and group music lessons (i.e. choir, orchestra, chamber music). This paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of the curricula for primary music schools in three European countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia. We sought to determine whether the curricula of music schools envisage the inclusion of students in music-creative activities and to what extent such activities are represented in individual subjects in relation to reproductive musical activities. Also, the research was supposed to show whether musical improvisation or composing activities are more represented in music schools, or whether individual or group music-creative activities are more represented. The results showed that the curricula of all three countries envisage musical- creative activities in some subjects, but not in all. Such activities are described in the most detail for solfeggio classes and are not foreseen in a choir, chamber music, and orchestra classes. The musical-creative activities in the Slovenian curriculum for primary music schools are presented in the most detailed way. |
