Diversity and commonalities
In Europe, there is a great variety of curricula for music, which differ according to country and educational institution. As a rule, however, all curricula place emphasis on a broad musical education that includes both theoretical and practical components. Music theory, ear training and instrumental lessons are important components of the curricula, as are learning about music history and developing creative skills through composing and improvising. The promotion of musical personality and the development of social skills through making music together are further important aspects. In addition, the teaching of cultural traditions and the examination of contemporary music play a role.
