Abstract
The aim of this research is to evaluate the existing model of music education for future teachers as well as the characteristics of music teaching at various teaching study programmes in Croatia. A survey has been conducted among students at the Faculty of Education in Osijek (N = 307), the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb (N = 344), the Department for Education of Teachers and Pre-school Teachers of the University of Zadar (N = 121), and among music teachers (N = 12) at teacher study programmes in Croatia. The existing model of music education for future teachers has been evaluated as better than average, both by students and teachers alike. A significant difference in model evaluation has been established among students from different faculties. The evaluation of material conditions has shown that music classrooms are well-equipped, except when it comes to musical instruments that could be used by students in lessons. The paper proposes possible solutions, resulting from the research, which could lead to qualitative changes in music education of future teachers.
