Kauno valstybinė muzikos mokykla ir konservatorija 1920-1940 m.
LTLietuvių muzikos pedagogikos pradžia siejama su Kauno valstybinės muzikos mokyklos ir konservatorijos veikla 1920-1940 m. Tuomet buvo kuriama savų muzikų rengimo bazė, formavosi muzikos pedagogikos tradicijos. Minėtas Kauno muzikos mokyklos ir konservatorijos raidos laikotarpis dar nepakankamai ištirtas. Pirmąjį jo dešimtmetį leidinyje „Valstybės muzikos mokykla ir konservatorija 1920-1930" apžvelgė ilgametis mokyklos (vėliau konservatorijos) direktorius Juozas Gruodis. Šią temą savo knygose palietė Juozas Gaudrimas ir Onutė Narbutienė, taip pat kelių publikacijų autoriai. Plačiau problema nagrinėjama Algirdo Ambrazo straipsnyje „Juozas Gruodis ir konservatorija" (Pergalė, 1984, Nr. 12) ir keliuose straipsniuose, kurie skirti atskirų specialiųjų dalykų pedagogikai. Šio darbo tikslas - kompleksiškai ištirti Kauno valstybinės muzikos mokyklos ir konservatorijos veiklą 1920-1940 m. ir papildyti turimas žinias.

ENIn 1919, Juozas Naujalis founded a private music school in Kaunas, which was an incentive contribution to the development of Lithuanian music pedagogics. The school, launched on 1 October 1919, became the first Lithuanian state music education institution, which was turned into a conservatory on 7 February 1933. On the basis of documents and judging from activities of Kaunas State Music School, one may conclude that: a) during its first years the school put major emphasis on preparing music teachers for schools of secondary education; in 1927 a new programme for the school was ratified by the council of teachers and the focus of the school shifted to education of performers and composers; b) at the end of the first decade of its activities, the Kaunas State Music School in fact functioned as an institution of music education at university level; c) the education programme of the school and later of the conservatory was modelled upon experience of Moscow, Riga and St. Petersburg conservatories; d) the structure of Kaunas Conservatory included subdivisions of the secondary and higher music education institutions.The primary education was carried out by private schools, studios and the People's Conservatory; e) due to the broad range of prior educational background of the students and differences in age, graduation diplomas and grades varied; thus not all of the students having attended the school were successful in receiving a degree; f) the teaching of specific subjects was based upon the pedagogic principles of well-established European institutions; g) moreover, Lithuanian musicians were raised by the specialists that had already been educated under these European traditions; h) eventually the graduates of this higher music institution become to make up the nucleus of Lithuanian professional orchestras and ensembles; i) Lithuanian music pedagogics evolved during the years of Kaunas Music School and Conservatory; it drew upon the well-established traditions of European pedagogics.
