Music of the pre-classical and classical period in primary school music education

Glazba je od samoga rođenja sastavni dio života svakoga čovjeka. Ona može imati snažan utjecaj na pojedinca stoga je vrlo važno kakvu glazbu slušamo. U ovom radu opisane su odlike pretklasične i klasične glazbe koja je u povijesti glazbe ali i u nastavi Glazbene kulture ostavila neizbrisiv trag. Cilj ovoga rada bio je istražiti koliko su zastupljene skladbe iz razdoblja pretklasike i klasike na nosačima zvuka uz udžbenike Glazbene kulture u prvim trima razredima osnovne škole. Prije analiziranja rezultata dobivenih istraživanjem, navedena su obilježja razdoblja klasicizma te je istaknuta važnost aktivnosti slušanja u nastavi Glazbene kulture. Aktivnim slušanjem brojnih glazbenih djela učenici će spoznati vrijednost glazbe te razviti glazbeni ukus. Analizom je utvrđeno da su skladbe iz razdoblja klasike najviše uključene na nosačima zvuka za treći razred. Također je utvrđeno da skladbe iz razdoblja pretklasike i klasike nisu uključene u dovoljnoj mjeri i da su najviše zastupljene skladbe iz razdoblja romantizma i 20. stoljeća.When each human being is born, music becomes an essential part of his life. Music can have an important impact on every individual so it is important to choose what kind of music we will listen. The characteristics of pre – classical and classical music, which have left an indelible mark in the history of music and also in teaching Music as a school subject, have been described in this paper. The aim of this paper was to explore in which amount were the compositions from the pre – classical and classical period represented on the CD-s that accompanied books that students used in the Music classes in the first three grades of primary school. The characteristics of the classical period and also the reasons why it is important to actively listen to music in Music classes, have been listed before analysing the results that were gathered by research. By actively listening to numerous musical compositions, students will comprehend the value of music and develop their own particular taste for music. The analysis has shown that the compositions from the classical period have mostly been present on the CD-s used in the third grade. It was also recorded that the compositions from the pre-classical and classical period were not present in a sufficient amount and that the compositions from the romantic period and compositions from the twentieth century were mostly present on the CD-s
