Abstract
The article analyses the results of a case study on a workshop for contemporary
music which represents an excellent example of arts partnership in Slovenia.
The aim of the workshop was to stimulate creative use of contemporary musical
language in connection with the development of the lifelong cultural awareness
and expression competence. The results of the interviews with 17 participants of
the workshop pointed out the complex occurrence of various indicators, which, at
the level of personal, social and intellectual competences, determined the nature
of musical expression through contemporary music and indirectly influenced
the development of the lifelong cultural awareness and expression competence.
Through the creative process, participants expressed motivation and sensitivity
for contemporary music and developed their musical abilities as well as their
sense of community and self-identity. The identified challenges included students’
lack of musical experience with contemporary music, the low priority given to
contemporary music in schools as well as teachers’ lack of professional knowledge
in this field.
