Diplomsko delo z naslovom Baletni oddelek Glasbene šole Fran Korun Koželjski Velenje je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili razvoj plesa in baleta ter razvoj baleta v Sloveniji. Poudarili smo pomen, ki ga ima ples za razvoj otroka, saj močno prispeva k njegovemu socialnemu, čustvenemu, intelektualnemu in fizičnemu razvoju. Predstavili smo baletni oddelek Glasbene šole Frana Koruna Koželjskega, ki ga sestavljajo baletni vrtec, plesne pripravnice in program ples - balet. Glasbena šola Frana Koruna Koželjskega kot institucija skrbi, da otroci razvijajo in gojijo ljubezen do plesa in plesnega izražanja. V empiričnem delu smo po določenem protokolu evalvirali baletne produkcije in opravili intervju z baletnima učiteljicama. Ugotovili smo, da ples vpliva na samozavest in samopodobo otroka, da se otroci prek nastopanja učijo vživljanja v različne vloge, razvijajo svoje gibalne sposobnosti in se izražajo skozi gib. Kakovost izobraževalnih programov Glasbene šole Frana Koruna Koželjskega se odraža ne vedno večjem številu vpisanih otrok. Glasbena šola vzgaja generacije, ki pripomorejo k nadaljnjemu ohranjanju plesne tradicije in kulture, tako da otroci kasneje prenašajo ljubezen do plesa na svoje otroke in se udeležujejo kulturnih dogodkov in prireditev. Ugotovili smo tudi, da Glasbena šola Frana Koruna Koželjskega prispeva k bogatitvi kulturnega utripa mesta Velenje, in s tem dviguje raven izobraženosti tega področja.The thesis titled Ballet Department of Fran Korun Koželjski Velenje Music School contains the theoretical and the empirical part.
