Abstract
Higher music education in Pula has a long and rich history. Initiated in 1965, the modestly designed two-year music education study program at the Teacher Education Academy eventually developed into a modern Music Pedagogy program that is still delivered at the Music Academy of the Juraj Dobrila University in Pula. The establishment of this study program and its growth and development were largely supported by the efforts of Slavko Zlatić, who worked at this institution for almost two decades and delivered several different courses (Music History, Knowledge of Literature, Folklore, Score Playing, Musical Forms, Conducting). After his death in 1933, his family left part of his valuable legacy (books, records and tapes, scores, piano, desk, traditional instruments) to the Faculty of Teacher Education in Pula. Today, most of this legacy is kept in a hall named after him (the Zlatić Hall), however, the general public knows little of it and only uses it sporadically. Also, there are no substantial written accounts of Zlatić’s music education work in Pula. The relevant archives were either not preserved or are kept in inaccessible areas. This paper, largely a result of a student project implemented as part of the Knowledge of Music Literature course within the Music Pedagogy program in the academic years 2018 and 2019, provides testimonials of Zlatić’s former students, obtained through verbal history.
