NEW EDUCATIONAL PARADIGMA AND STATE STANDARDS MUSIC EDUCATION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The report examines the new state educational standards (DSS) as regards the content of music curricula that were imposed by the Pre-school and School Education Act approved by the Ministry of Education and Science which entered into force on 01.08.2016. One of the main reasons for the creation of this law was the need for an adequate and adequate educational environment in which to promote the individual development of each person using attractive forms of training. The adopted DSS provides for the acquisition of different general and specific competences that are expected as a result of the music education at each educational level. After the analysis of the content of the music curriculum at an early stage, it is possible to ascertain their suitability for the new positive ideas and trends in the musical education process. Musical activities that construct the unit of study are tailored to the pupils' age skills to perceive music and their accumulated listening experience. The pre-set variety of textbooks with different author teams required a more detailed review. The new methodology for the presentation of elements of musical expression is in line with state educational standards. Noting literacy and the absorption of elements of musical expression have been set too early in first grade textbooks, but it is most widely used in music education in the third grade. It highlights the great thematic wealth associated with putting the foundations in the literacy and musical script. The key points are the concepts: pen, note key, notes, tonal names, pauses, size, tact, stroke, and so on. The expected key learning outcomes of the pupils' preparation are key competencies. We are pleased to note that the information provided in the curriculum is presented in an attractive way. Various visual aids are available in various variants of music textbooks: interesting, entertaining and accessible to children. The musical education process is based on the conditions for a more effective development of musical abilities as an effective force for emotional communication with music and the realization of musical activities. In this process a special place is given to the role of the teacher, who will guide his students in the right direction and unobtrusively enable them to be the creators of modern times.
