ENThe article considers the features of education in Lithuanian music schools basing on the results of the questionnaire of music school students (N = 100) and music school graduates (N = 6). It has been clarified that in todayís education when teaching paradigms are changing, education in music schools is changing slowly. In the studentsí opinion, it is not attractive; it is based on conservative teaching methods and is oriented to perfection rather than creativity. The research results confirm the hypothesis of the researcher that music school students' experiences are often negative in relation to their learning at school. It is obvious that the analysis of such experiences provides important information about the situation of music education in Lithuania and shows the need for improvement in some areas. Keywords: Lithuanian music school, features of music education, opinions of music school students and graduates. [From the publication]
