Abstract

The article tells about the purposes and tasks of general music education at children music schools and general high schools, as well as about those of early professional music education. An impact of some state cultural policy trends during 1917–1991 on the functioning of children music schools, which have been the basis of professional music education in Russia, is viewed in details. The author concludes that a valuable children music education and upbringing experience accumulated during the Soviet years needs to be preserved and further developed not only on the professional but also on the legislative grounds.

Keywords: the art of music; the system of music education in Russia; early, general and professional music education
