Abstract

In spite of the scarcity of information at our disposal, it is possible to discern some regularities in Croatian Renaissance music education: 1) music teachers were most often organists, the classes were held in seminaries or cathedral schools and the classes were usually limited to choral singing (canto fermo) lessons; 2) polyphonic music (canto figurato) was taught almost exclusively in archdiocesan centers such
as Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik, with the exception of the scola di musica in Rab which was the only specialized institution who could teach choral and polyphonic singing in Croatia in the 16th century; 3) the example of a private humanist school in Korčula shows that music was also taught to students from patrician backgrounds; 4) in Dubrovnik the Rector’s cappella existed alongside the cathedral school The Rector’s cappella was an ensemble of professional instrument players, who initiated
the basic education of instrument playing.
