Formal or Informal? Folk Music, Folklore Revival and Music Education
Kratochvíl, Matěj
Traditional folk music in the Czech Republic was usually connected with an informal way of knowledge transfer from generation to generation. Personal contacts with experienced musicians played an important role in transmission of repertoire, style, and skills to younger ones. During the 20th century and especially in its second half, with the development of the revival movement, this system changed. While some of its aspects have remained, the transmission process was strongly influenced by a formalized and institutionalized system of public music education. Music education both in grammar schools and in the network of so called “Basic schools of arts” (Základní umělecké školy), where children learn music as a hobby, has had an impact on the way traditional music is taught today. These changes include the emphasis on different aspects of musicianship, drawing inspiration from other genres of music, and a different way of organizing ensembles including a higher representation of girls in them. In my text, I am presenting findings from my own experience as well as from interviews with musicians from several generations. I am trying to demonstrate how their particular experience with learning and teaching traditional folk music has informed their approach to the way they perform, listen to and think about music.

Introduction: Why Typology?
Tyllner, Lubomír
The national identity issue is constantly topical even in times of strong globalization and acculturation tendencies. Music, especially its most fundamental layer - traditional music, also helps to define national identity. Therefore, determining the basic types of Czech folk music is one of the major tasks of ethnomusicological research.
