TI - The Role of Music Education in the Contemporary Education System
AB - In recent decades, the level of music education in Polish general schools has been systematically decreasing. This results both from the lowering of the importance of music as a school subject and from the common belief that teaching music is a waste of time. Meanwhile, both neuropsychological research and observations resulting from the analysis of American data on the skill growth depending on selected school subjects indicate that systematic and practical contact with music for a minimum of two years significantly increases the intellectual abilities of young people – especially in the field of science. The author suggests increasing the role of music as a subject in the Polish public education system.
