Sažetak
Wthin the Croatian education system there is a great awareness of the need for quality education of future teachers and of the need to continually enforce teachers' competencies. The actual implementation of music education shows quite a different and uneven quality of work in music classes. This research aims to investigate the teachers' opinions regarding different possibilities of teaching songs within music classes in relation to the education required for 1st to 4th grade primary school teachers. The assumption is that those teachers who introduce songs in class by playing it on an instrument would state that an additional music education would be needed to manage music classes (subject teacher education), whereas those teachers who introduce songs by mere mechanical reproduction would state the opposite. The research was conducted on a group of 160 teachers by using a questionnaire with a Likert scale, and for testing the difference a t-test was used. As a result, the initial hypothesis was rejected and it was concluded that far more of those teachers who do not introduce songs by playing them on some instrument deemed that an additional music education (subject teacher education) for primary school 1st to 4th grade teachers is necessary than those who do. The situation demonstrates the need for continuous systematic work on strengthening teachers' competencies in the area of music teaching.competencies
