Musical education in Russian secondary schools

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 December 2008

Abstract

This paper reviews the traditions of teaching school music in Russia and focuses on the music curriculum for comprehensive schools elaborated by the Russian Academy of Pedagogical Sciences. New teaching methods continue to be developed and, despite economic difficulties in Russia, the number of institutes of higher music education remains high compared to that in other countries. As a result Russia has, perhaps, a greater number of highly-qualified musicians, teachers and performers than any other country in the world.
