One of the aims of the qualitative research case study on the theme of cooperation between a music school and its environment was to investigate the role of the headteacher in the participation of the selected music school with parents, the founding municipality and public
cultural institutions. The article answers on one of the four research questions of earlier mentioned qualitative research and relates to the
article published in the Napredak 157(4), where importance of cooperation between a music school and its environment was discussed. In the first par t of the ar ticle, the role of the headteacher in the process of cooperation between a music school and community was studied theoretically.
In the second part the results of empirical study of his role in this process were discussed. The analysis of interviews and documentary materials showed that the role of the headteacher in the cooperation between a music school and community was related to the manner of headteacher’s communication with the education stakeholders, to his active involvement in local organizations in the community, to his influence on employees and students, and to his active seeking of support for the operation of the music school.
