Abstract

In all levels of professional music education – music school, conservatory/art gymnasium, music academy, shared leadership is a new and little researched concept. Most of what is known in music education are that a teacher is the leader of education, who leads the education – prepares a program, marks fingers above notes, puts together dynamic symbols and cords of the piece, teaches posture and sitting while playing with an instrument, analyses the style and structure of a musical work as well as teaches music to the pupil. Amongst all else, consults, assists, listens, and takes care of the general well-being of learning. However in professional music education of today while preparing musicians it is a bit different. The teacher is the main person from whom the pupil learns and is like an assistant, the conveyor of knowledge, supporter and leading person towards the end-goal, which is performed by musician in learning and advanced musician. This publication reviews the concept of shared leadership, its dissemination in the education, the experience of music teachers in shared leadership development. The purpose of this publication is to find out how shared leadership based education predominates in professional music education in the work and experience of music school teachers. The results of the qualitative research, conducted by the authors, revealed that the shared leadership in professional music education is comprised of good relationship between the teacher and the pupil, good and favourable learning environment and the teacher’s comprehensive support for the student. The shared leadership education concept is applied in the preparation of professional musicians.
