Music as a Difficult but Necessary Element in the Process of Remote Education in Times of a Pandemic

Abstract

Music affects many areas of human life, but as an “invisible being”, it is not conducive to remote education. However, due to the multidimensional perception and understanding of music, it becomes a kind of “safety valve” in the difficult reality of pandemic isolation. The article deals with the subject of multi-context understanding and definition of music, and presents the observations resulting from the above narrative about the child’s meetings with music planned by the teacher. The time of the pandemic set a new challenge for music teachers and made them reflect on the purpose of music education in this difficult time. Therefore, an individual approach and understanding of the child’s needs becomes important, especially in conditions of global isolation. Hence, the aim of the article is to draw attention to the broadly understood musicalisation of a child, which is of particular importance in the period of educational and social isolation.
