Magistrska naloga Jazz in zabavna glasba v slovenskem glasbenem šolstvu obravnava razvoj, umeščenost in institucionalizacijo jazza ter zabavne glasbe v slovenskem formalnem glasbenem izobraževanju. Namen je predstaviti zgodovinski razvoj obeh zvrsti, analizirati njuno vključevanje v javno veljavne programe ter pomen teh sprememb za sodobno glasbeno pedagogiko in razvoj glasbenikov. Teoretični del prikazuje razvoj jazza in zabavne glasbe v mednarodnem in slovenskem prostoru ter razvoj glasbenega šolstva na Slovenskem. Poudarja, da je bilo šolstvo tradicionalno usmerjeno v zahodnoevropsko umetnostno glasbo, jazz in zabavna glasba pa sta dolgo ostajala obrobna. Ključni mejniki so: ustanovitev oddelka za jazz in zabavno glasbo na Srednji glasbeni in baletni šoli Ljubljana (1992), uvedba študija jazza na Akademiji za glasbo UL (2022) ter vključitev jazzovskih predmetov v programe glasbenih šol (2025/2026). Empirični del temelji na polstrukturiranih intervjujih s Polonco Češarek Puklavec, Matevžem Smerkolom in Matejem Hotkom. Ugotovitve kažejo, da je bila institucionalizacija jazza rezultat dolgoletnih prizadevanj in postopne spremembe odnosa do teh zvrsti. Formalno izobraževanje pomembno prispeva k profesionalizaciji, vendar ne nadomešča koncertne dejavnosti in praktičnih izkušenj. Kot ključni izzivi so izpostavljeni utrditev programov, boljše povezovanje izobraževalnih stopenj in dodatno usposabljanje učiteljev. Raziskava zaključuje, da je v Sloveniji vzpostavljena celovita jazzovska izobraževalna vertikala, kar pomembno prispeva k večji raznolikosti in sodobnosti glasbenega izobraževanja.

Izvleček

The master’s thesis Jazz in Popular Music in Slovenian Music Education addresses the development, positioning, and institutionalisation of jazz and popular music within the Slovenian formal music education system. The aim of the study is to present the historical development of both genres, analyse their integration into publicly accredited educational programmes, and highlight the significance of these changes for contemporary music pedagogy and the development of musicians. The theoretical part outlines the development of jazz and popular music in both the international and Slovenian contexts, as well as the evolution of music education in Slovenia. It emphasises that the system has traditionally been oriented towards Western classical art music, while jazz and popular music remained on the periphery of institutional education for a long time. Key milestones in the institutionalisation process include the establishment of the Department of Jazz and Popular Music at the Secondary School of Music and Ballet Ljubljana in 1992, the introduction of jazz studies at the Academy of Music of the University of Ljubljana in 2022, and the inclusion of jazz-related subjects in music school programmes in the 2025/2026 academic year. The empirical part is based on semi-structured interviews with Polonca Češarek Puklavec, Matevž Smerkol, and Matej Hotko. The findings show that the institutionalisation of jazz resulted from long-term individual efforts and a gradual shift in attitudes towards these genres within the educational sphere. Formal education significantly contributes to the professionalisation of the jazz scene but cannot replace live performance experience, concert activity, and active engagement in the musical environment. Key challenges identified include the consolidation of existing programmes, improved coordination between educational levels, and further professional development of teachers. The study concludes that a comprehensive jazz education vertical has been established in Slovenia, representing an important step towards greater diversity and modernisation of music education.
