Innovative approaches to teaching music in elementary school - opera in music classes

This paper discusses the issues in innovative approach to teaching music in elementary school, with a special emphasis on the treatment of the opera. The authors make the following classification of operas suitable for teaching in music classes: (1) operas in which children have secondary/supporting roles (small solo roles or children's operatic chorus) ; (2) operas for children performed by both adults and children, and titles are intended for children ; (3) operas that are aimed at and performed by children. The paper proposes various possibilities of enriching the traditional approaches to processing opera content, through the student’s involvement in opera performances, through correlations with different subjects, through the use of educational technology and through visiting live opera performances. The paper points out that this innovative approach to opera in school will contribute to achieving the following goals: developing student’s musical taste, establishing criteria for evaluation of music which belongs to different music styles and creating future operatic and concert audiences.
