POSSIBILITIES OF CORRELATION IN THE TEACHING OF MUSICAL CULTURE IN CLASSROOM TEACHING

The paper discusses the possibilities of correlation of teaching musical culture with other subjects in classroom teaching. The goal of the research was to determine which contents of the musical culture teaching provide the possibility of correlation with the contents of other teaching subjects. It has been established that the teaching of musical culture provides great opportunities for correlation with the majority of classroom teaching subjects. The correlation of musical culture teaching is most often realized, in several ways and through various activities, with the serbian language, the world around us/nature and society, art culture and physical education. By connecting the contents of the above-mentioned subjects in classroom teaching, tasks and planned activities are successfully implemented, the learning process is shortened, and the knowledge that students acquire is more permanent. In classroom teaching, correlation can be achieved through two or more subjects if the teacher is competent enough to recognize the possibilities of connecting content, but also motivated to integrate this model into teaching. As the most important person in the early education of students, the teacher has a great responsibility, and the successful application of this modern teaching model depends on his expertise, good planning and preparation. With well-designed and connected contents of teaching subjects, the teacher will significantly improve the teaching process, more successfully implement the tasks and planned activities, shorten the learning process for students and ensure that the knowledge they acquire is more permanent.
