Abstract
The introduction of new curricula and contents to the schools in Croatia has opened the possibilities of involving the youth in lifelong learning. Regular classes and extracurricular activities are an opportunity for better social integration and the very foundation of contemporary education. The authoress brings the art of music closer to the phenomenon of lifelong learning by highlighting the importance that music has in one’s life, education and culture. Music education (culture) both encourages and supports the development of personality with the purpose of both facilitating one’s ability to judge and appraise a work of art, and stimulating one’s creativity. Enabling students to continually learn, to conduct research independently and to critically reflect on all the aspects of life are the tendencies of today’s teaching. Following this line of thought, the authoress describes the interaction and multidisciplinary approach of the arts of music and drama, which help to influence the cognitive-value and creative development of the student’s potentials.
