tinual practice (Predmetni program Muzička kultura za I, II, III, IV, V, VI, j. martinović bogojević ◆ musical creativity in primary school programmes for music education in montenegro and slovenia

The Montenegrin programme defines general goals related to musical as-
pects in the following way:

(The pupil) obtains musical literacy, including the rules of writing
music; links the knowledge acquired through music with other as-
pects of his/her life; shows understanding and appreciation of artistic
and aesthetic expression; researches possibilities for life-long active
participation in certain forms of music as an art. (Predmetni program
Muzička kultura za I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII i IX razred osnovne
škole, 2017, p. 2)
The Slovenian programme specifies the general goals more precisely, mak-
ing them oriented more towards the musical and less to extra-musical aspects.
This implies:
Stimulation of musical experience and expression of music both
through musical activities and other media; participation in various
forms of musical activities, becoming acquainted with musical lit-
erature, artists and performers, and with legitimacy of the musical
language; development of musical abilities by work forms; develop-
ment of mutual exchanges and communication by musical language;
expression of musical experience by movement, visually or verbally.
(Program osnovna šola glasbena umetnost. Učni načrt, 2011, p. 5)
Both programmes emphasise the significance of education through appre-
ciation of music, development of a critical approach and connection of music
with everyday life.
Extra-musical goals are related to the development of problem-solving
competencies, critical thinking and decision-making abilities; development
of positive self-perception, self-motivation and independence; social interac-
tion; inter-cultural understanding and mutual respect by encounters with mu-
sic and musical tradition of various cultures (Predmetni program Muzička kul-
tura za I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII i IX razred osnovne škole, 2017).
The general goals of the Slovenian programme include: development of
sensory intelligence as a point of departure for learning and sensory-social ma-
turity of children; awareness of the role of musical activities, such as techniques
for relaxation of body and mind (music therapy); association of music with
other arts. (Program osnovna šola glasbena umetnost. Učni načrt, 2011, p. 2)
As a resume of general goals of music teaching in Montenegro and Slove-
nia, we can conclude that they represent the multifold significance of music in
elementary education. The Programme for Music Culture (Predmetni program
