Hudební výchova na všeobecně vzdělávacích středních školách v Ostravě od 90. let 19. století do roku 1945

Abstract

The study deals with the formation of music education in general education schools in Ostrava in the period from the 1890s to 1945. Music education was carried out within the framework of non-compulsory singing (it was only from 1943 that musical education was included among compulsory subjects), where it was mostly taught by so-called external pedagogues. The study gives a vivid picture of music education in four key general education secondary schools – at the matriculation gymnasium in Moravská Ostrava, Czechoslovak state grammar school in Moravská Ostrava, Municipal Grammar School in Přívoz and the Girls' Lyceum / Girls' Reform Grammar School in Slezská Ostrava. The Orchestra of Secondary School Students (Orchester deutscher Studenten der Ostrauer Mittelschulen), which was highly significant also for Czech students, had a special place in the context of contemporary music education activities among the Germans in Ostrava.
