The paper examines, from the perspective of the students’ representative, what the Department of Music Studies can offer to primary and secondary education. It notes a flourishing of musical life in the 1990s, but weak foundations in school education, where music teachers without a university degree are appointed, and examines the 1995 competition in detail.
