The use of games in Music Education Teaching

The open curriculum in the teaching of Music Education in the current educational system of the Republic of Croatia has enabled teachers to find numerous methodological and didactic solutions through which all teaching activities can be performed in a creative and interesting way. The most creative activities that result in many benefits for students and learning, and which at the same time require the teachers’ detailed preparation, adaptation to students’ abilities, interest, needs, and preferences are music games. With regard to their positive characteristics, numerous possibilities of implementing them, and the ability to include them in all stages of a lesson, music games are a desirable, integral part of every contemporary music education. This paper explores the presence of games in the current Music Education teaching. From the results obtained, it is clear that teachers use games featuring singing, movement, rhythm and/or melodies, as well as music games featuring listening. The research shows that teachers are not fully recognized the possibility of implementing games in the teaching of Music Education and that they do not use information- communication technology in their implementation. The need to encourage teachers to implement games at all stages of the lesson has been updated, as well as the one to modernize the music curriculum with new media and make the games as innovative following the achievements of the modern era.
