MUSIC EDUCATION IN PRACTICE

The publication introduces didactic situations from the actual classes of the students of pedagogy in terms of the continuous field practise at the Music department of the Faculty of Education, Charles University. It is focused on the examples of listening, vocal-instrumental and dramatic activities using the methods and forms of work which are often unjustly omitted within the music education (e.g. clustering, diamond, mind maps, use of caricatures, comics, or learning through excursions, board games and other unusual methods). Selected didactic issues are attested by practical audio and video samples. The paper brings many note examples with musical recordings and offers feedback in the form of terms to remember, thought-provoking questions and tasks. All the above-mentioned serve to a formation of a text, which is interactive, inspires teachers and motivates them to creativity.
