Summary
Mlada Sloga was a publication of the Music School of the Sloga National Railway Music
Society published from September 1938 to November 1943 in the Society’s publishing
house. Altogether, it was published six years, from two to six issues per school year. The
publication was the idea of Heribert Svetel (1895–1962), who was also the editor and
author of most articles. Other authors were some of the teacher of the music school. The
publication included professional music articles as well as more popular and entertaining
topics. The article dealt with the questions concerning music in general, music theory,
instrumentation, the Slovenian and foreign history of music with the purpose of
encouraging the development of the students’ knowledge. In addition, they looked at new
works by Slovenian composers and addressed issues concerning music education. The
wide array of topics was complemented by chapters encouraging students to actively
participate with their own writtings, such as »You Ask, Mlada Sloga Answers« (Gojenci
sprašujejo, Mlada Sloga odgovarja) and »Young People’s Corner« (Kotièek naših malih).
The publication raises critical issues and deals with such topics as why should children get
music education and how to choose an instrument as well as other practical tips for
children and parents.The publication also includes reports about the work of the Sloga
Music School (courses, assessment, examinations and performances). It is a rare and
interesting example of a music school teaching aid, which, through its wide collection of
articles, helps children gain skills and knowledge.
