Abstract

Today we find ourselves in a situation where it is obvious that Czech music education and musicology should have solved this problem long ago. Therefore, in recent years and decades, projects have emerged that realize that music - although it is a natural human activity – finds itself at the very top of sonic art. I believe that education to music must start with education to silence, then education to sound and its awareness to the more complicated structures and compositions of sound and finally also music. My paper brings several theses and suggestions of potential solutions.
