Music Educationalist Pavel Jurkovič and His Methods of Children´s Musicality Development
KREJČÍ, Radka
My bachelor thesis deals with the personality of Pavel Jurkovič, a music educationalist, a singer, an instrumentalist, an author of compositions for children and the youth and a publicist. It is focused on his educational activity based on the principles of Schulwerk pedagogy of Carl Orff which is built on natural connection between music, speech and dance. I also concentrated on his life's journey and his opinions and attitudes related to his teaching practice. According to Pavel Jurkovič, music education not only represents acquiring musical skills and knowledge, but music also positively affects the human personality. I devoted my bachelor thesis to topics such as voice training, folk song, vocal production for children, rhythmic rhymes and games with music and movement, body percussion, instrumental ensemble and listening to music. I attached pieces of advice and recommendations by Pavel Jurkovič on how to procced in musical activities and how to use his sheet music and methodical manuals.

Singing and its development using a folk song for school age children
WOLFOVÁ, Monika
The main aim of this bachelor's thesis was to compile the basic knowledge of the importance of singing for the development of a school age child. The processing was done in terms of musicality development and from the perspective of educational influence. There are some practical examples of the developing of individual skills presented in this work too. All those previously mentioned issues are based on the theoretical findings. The thesis also contains treatise on folk songs. I recall earlier lives of people who were influenced with such songs and contributed to their emergence and wide spreading. The songs performed various functions and went through different stages of progression. In my work I exalt the importance of singing for the development of children. Most children meet folk songs from birth but its active operation usually fades later in their lives. Therefore I also included a chapter on the history and significance of folk songs.
