description

Towards Teaching music in French primary schools. This article describes and analyses how teachers in primary schools teach music. The survey concerned more than one thousand teachers and it shows on the one hand the conformity of the teachers'statements with the regulations from the Ministry of Education and on the other end, the large variety in the time that is devoted to musical activities. Amongst those singing is the most frequent and teachers themselves generally lead lessons. Besides, teaching practises are more intensive and varied in pre-schools than in primary schools and when teachers have a professionel training.
