One of the reasons is musical competence of elementary school teachers. The programme of music for an initial class of a comprehensive school presents high requirements to musical competence. The teachers should own knowledge in the field of the theory and history of music, methods of musical education, singing and instrumental playing skills, to known modern children’s repertoire, and to own alive speech. With this purpose, 204 teachers of elementary schools from all over Lithuania were interrogated. They have expressed their point of view about music, handicaps for conducting musical lessons, problems of teachers training and lack of musical contents

The scope of the article is limited only to one kind of musical activities, i.e., to singing, because it is one of the most accessible musical activities to pre-primary and junior school age children, which provides them with conditions for their self-expression. The research aim is to compare 6-8 year old children’s singing voice development and to define the assessment criteria of the development of singing voice in musical education classes. 225 6– 8 year old children from Lithuania, Latvia and Taiwan took part in the research. The abilities to control the singing voice were evaluated applying the methodology “The Children Singing Voice Measure” (CSVM). The data analysis and conclusions were based on the results of testing indicators. The determined criteria for assessment of empiric features (indicators) may enable music teachers to identify the level of singing voice of this age children and peculiarities of its expressionVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŠvietimo akademij

The article raises the problem of motivation for learning music by teenagers. The investigation seeks to reveal factors of motivation for learning related to a pupil himself/herself and to organisation of the educational process. The investigation results showed that almost all factors of motivation for learning music are not extremely important or are absolutely unimportant to the majority of pupils. However, more than one fourth of the pupils under investigation indicated that it was very important to have a competent music teacher. The majority of the pupils think that music is useful subject at school. The analysis of the investigation results shows that inner drives strengthening motivation for learning music are not strong and deeply realised. The results obtained when studying the pupils’ self-respect substantiate this conclusion especially clearly. The investigation results revealed that low motivation for learning music depended on the sex and general interest in music. Almost one third of girls think that pleasure experienced when singing, playing, listening to music is of great importance and only less than one tenth of boys admit this. The investigation results showed statistically significant difference between pupils’ interest in music and pleasure experienced when playing music and satisfaction with music lessons. In conclusion it can be stated that teenagers give greater importance to motivation factors related to organising the process of musical education that to their inner drives

Music develops human imagination, enhances the emotional experience, evokes the human ability to perceive the organised world of sounds and stimulates the esthetical experience of this world. Many studies have shown that the importance of musical education is more important for primary school pupils than in later years. If before this age, in the families or schools the music education is not given enough attention, the child loses a lot (musical receptiveness, specific visual thinking), and later this kind of abilities for various reasons (disharmony of physical, emotional development, etc.) are more suppressed. Therefore, much of significance must be devoted to the musical education of future primary school teachers. The research data from qualitative and quantitative study analysis have highlighted the peculiarities of musical and pedagogical psychological competencies of primary school teachers.
