Sabina VIDULIN 5 Extracurricular Musical Activities in Primary School from the Teachers’ Point of View Sabina Vidulin (Music Academy in Pula, University of Juraj Dobrila in Pula, Republic of Croatia) Abstract: The paper stresses the importance of organized and planned activities in primary1school students' free time, by means of their participation in extracurricular musical activities. In this process, it is important to focus on student satisfaction, active participation, and concrete contribution, which would ensure high-quality outcomes and influence comprehensive student development. Research results point out the advantages and drawbacks of organizing extracurricular musical activities in Croatian schools. Teachers stress that the interest of students ranges around average levels, that the curriculum is largely well adapted to their needs and capacities, but they also report that students cooperate successfully with one another and that the work atmosphere is pleasant. By offering various extracurricular musical activities in the school one can help students to broaden their knowledge and develop their musical skills. For this reason, offering new programs, materials, and approaches is inevitable if we wish to modernize these activities and receive greater student interest in participation. Key words: extracurricular musical activities, free time, primary school, teachers. Organization of students’ free time in extracurricular school activities Organization of students’ free time is one of the foundational questions of pedagogy, and thus also of education. Since this free time is susceptible to positive, but also to negative influences, it is important to undertake preventive measures and organize free time for students filled with high quality contents, monitored by professionals who will help in the development of students’ potentials. Organized students’ free time has multifold benefits for the children, school and community, and benefits are reflected in the positive experiences acquired through the participation in organized and planned activities. Students have an opportunity to develop in accordance with their dispositions and capacities, to improve their success at school, to cooperate with others, to be creative, which reflects on their overall intellectual, emotional, and social potentials. By means of individual and group activities, students gain knowledge, develop skills, become creative and innovative, open, but also learn of strategies for overcoming obstacles, problem solving, time management, forms of address and interaction with others. Advantages of participation in organized free time activities have been stressed by both pedagogical practice and research results, which have found that organized free time 1 Primary school in Croatia is compulsory and lasts eight years. 6 plays a major role and remains very important in the formation of the child’s positive traits (Delle Fave & Bassi, 2000; McHale, Crouter & Tucker, 2001; Ilišin, 2002). It was precisely to support organized, high-quality free time for students that Croatian schools introduced extracurricular activities in the late 1950s. Since then, these activities have been a constituent part of school structure, equal in importance to others, and since the 1990s they have been given additional attention, which has contributed to concrete results in the pedagogical practice. Extracurricular activities as a specific form of work at schools have enriched the life of the school and community, and through their use -- precisely due to their use -- the school has become recognizable in the broader environment. Likewise, as pedagogically conceived activities, they have the function of providing education in free time and education for free time (Mlinarević & Brust Nemet, 2012). Numerous researchers have pointed at the relevance of participation in extracurricular activities since such activities support communion and creativity, foster openness to new knowledge and to a different worldview. Shulruf, Tumen and Tolley (2008) suggest that extracurricular activities have positive effects on learning outcomes; Eccles et al (2003) and also Marsh and Kleitman (2003) report that such activities foster improved achievement at school and promote wellbeing and prosocial behavior; Darling (2005) and Khanlou (2004) think that this develops skills and emotional security. Obviously, extracurricular activities represent the right way to enhance overall student development and to contribute to the formation of students’ personal identity. Cindrić (1992: 51) describes extracurricular activities as “various organizational forms of gathering students together outside class hours at school, which are typically marked by activities in culture and arts, sports, engineering, recreation, and science (education). By means of such activities, students satisfy their creative and recreational needs, and particularly gain the culture of using free time”. Puževski

  • In Loving Memory of Milan Yaklich Dennis & Janice Strootman UWM Foundation Non-Profit Slovenian Arts Program Organization 1440 East North Avenue U.S
    FALL ISSUE: NOVEMBER 2019 EDITOR: HELEN E. FROHNA NEWSLETTER OF THE UWM SLOVENIAN ARTS COUNCIL SLOVENIAN ARTS PROGRAM How would you describe Slovenian music? President: Christina Carroll Would it be Frankie Yankovic playing his accordion and singing about you and me under the silk umbrella (Židana Marela Polka)? Or would it be the Original Oberkrainer (Ansambel Avsenik) performing Trompetenecho? This is the type of music that most Slovenian-Americans recognize and relate to. When people left their homes and families behind in Slovenia/Austrian Empire to come to America to reinvent their lives in the mines and factories in Michigan’s UP, the Iron Range in Minnesota, and the cities of Cleveland, Chicago, and Milwaukee, they wanted to remember a little bit of “home”. Various singing choirs and musicians organized to replicate the melodies and sounds that they knew when they were growing up. Folk melodies were what they remembered. Over the past 30 years, the UWM Slovenian Arts Council presented various music programs that featured Slovenian performers and/or Slovenian compositions. Not all performers were from Slovenia, not all music sounded like familiar Slovenian folk tunes. Our goal was to showcase various types of music for the enjoyment and enrichment of the Slovenian-American commu- nity and the public at large. Singers and musicians from Slovenia consisted of the Deseti Brat Oktet, Navihanke, Vlado Kreslin, Perpetuum Jazzile, Slovenski Oktet, and the Lojze Slak Ansambel, performing folk, classical, and contemporary compositions. But other programs also featured the Singing Slovenes from Minnesota; from Cleveland, the Jeff Pecon Band, Fantje Na Vasi, and the Fantje’s next generation singers, Mi Smo Mi.

  • Working Tambura Bands and the Construction of the In- Between in Croatia and Its Intimates
    From the Center in the Middle: Working Tambura Bands and the Construction of the In­ Between in Croatia and its Intimates Ian MacMillen Prelude: Miroslav Skoro's Twentieth Anniversary Concert In November 2009, Croatian pop singer Miroslav Skoro performed in front of some twenty thousand fans at Arena Zagreb, the capital city's much lauded new sports hall. This was the second largest audience drawn by a Croatian act since the hall's opening the previous December, I a testament to Skoro's continuing status as one of Croatia's most popular patriotic performers (as well as television star and, in recent years, politician and record mogul). Aside from the notably large attendance, the concert in Zagreb was of particular significance to Skoro for its timing: held on the twentieth day of November, his performance celebrated twenty years' work in the music industry as a professional singer and songwriter. Accompanied by his band (on backup vocals, tenor saxophone, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboard, drums, and electric bass) and a number of guest musicians from past projects and from his family, Skoro performed repertoire from throughout his career and thereby commemorated his twenty years of hit songs and his many musical collaborations with these and other musicians. Skoro spoke to those of us in the audience about the significance of several of these individuals to his life and career, drawing particular atten­ tion to one who, although unable to attend, loomed large over the event: legendary Pittsburgh-born player oftraditional tambura chordophones, Jerry Grcevich. This longtime musical collaborator of Skoro's had arranged most of the singer's early hits and had singly performed the accompaniment (of overdubbed melody and rhythm tamburas) to each of the songs on Skoro's first and third albums.

This minority context is especially sensitive as, following the wars that accompanied the break-up of the Socialist Yugoslav state into primarily nationally defined states, Serbo-Croatian split into two mutually intelligible standards, Serbian and Croatian. The article examines the contexts of such visits, with a focus on what was at stake in the encounters and how different participants in minority politics manage various connections (veze) with Croatian state institutions. In particular, it describes how a hegemonic register consist- ing of tropes, or ideologemes, relating to domoljublje (patriotism) and caring for/pre- serving Croatian national identity featured in these interactions. This article makes the ethnographic argument that some activists primarily used this patriotic register non- referentially, its use indexing the pursuit of connections with Croatian state institutions, whilst other activists used the patriotic register referentially. Nevertheless, it is argued that when disputes occurred, “pro-national” activists used the enregistered tropes ref- erentially, in so doing disrupting the networks of activists who used them in a primarily non-referential sense.

  • Race and the Yugoslav Region
    4 Postsocialism, borders, security and race after Yugoslavia The historical legacies shown in the last chapter do much to explain the contradictory racialised imaginaries of the Yugoslav region’s ‘cultural archive’ (Chapter 1) and the shifting nature of translations of race into discourses of ethnic and national belonging (Chapter 2). Though many past applications of postcolonial thought to south-east Europe have bracketed race away, identifications with racialised narratives of Euro- peanness predated state socialism, yet alone the collapse of Yugoslavia which, it is sometimes thought, opened space for new postsocialist racisms. Translations of broader racialised discourses in the 1990s indeed took distinctive forms, embedded in a transnational European ‘cultural racism’ (Balibar and Wallerstein 1991: 26) consolidating nationalisms around a common defensive project of securing Europe against sup- posedly culturally alien, unassimilable migrant Others from Africa and Asia (Lentin 2004; Fekete 2009). Culturalist narratives of Europeanness- as-modernity and Europeanness-at-risk entered traditionalist– conservative and liberal national identity discourses most evidently in Slovenia (Mihelj 2005; Petrović 2009; Longinović 2011), but also elsewhere. Identity narratives at the north-west end of ‘nesting oriental- isms’ (Bakić-Hayden 1995) trained racialising lenses south-east across the Balkans towards Muslim and dark-skinned refugees and migrants entering Europe. Slovenian and Croatian nationalism’s performative rejection of Yugoslav state socialism and Yugoslav multi-ethnicity appeared to have also swept Yugoslav anti-colonial solidarities away. While post-Yugoslav identifications with cultural racism went back too far simply to be ‘consequences’ of postsocialism, the region’s violently Catherine Baker - 9781526126610 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at 10/05/2021 10:29:39PM via free access Postsocialism, borders, security and race 123 inverted geopolitical position after 1990 still shaped what form they took.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis employs historical, literary and anthropological methods to show how narratives of identity have been expressed in Croatia since 1991 (when Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia) through popular music and through talking about popular music. Since the beginning of the war in Croatia (1991-95) when the state media stimulated the production of popular music conveying appropriate narratives of national identity, Croatian popular music has been a site for the articulation of explicit national narratives of identity. The practice has continued into the present day, reflecting political and social change in Croatia (e.g. the growth of the war veterans lobby and protests against the Hague Tribunal).

    —B—— Színházi Ele? melléklete a 35. számhoz. 1934 augusztus 19—25. Szpíkeri A hét eseménye vitán felül Hevesi Sándor az a klasszikus hanRverseny aug. volt, amelyet a Stúdió Salz­ 10 burgból közvetített, ahol az idén már művészet és péntek I politika ugyancsak hajbakaptak egymással, amiből mindenkinek csak kára van és senkinek sincs haszna. De ez a hangverseny a tiszta művészet jegyében folyt le, felhőtlen égbolt alatt, politikai villámok és mennydörgés nélkül. A mű­ soron három név szerepelt : Händel, Haydn és Beethoven. Händel az angoloknak csinált muzsikát valamikor, Beethoven osztrák levegőben fejlődött, de mind a hárman a német zene dicsőségét szolgálták. Mint karnagy Bruno Walter működött, a bécsi filharmónikus-zenekar élén. A három klasszikus közül a legigazibb klasszikus Händel, a legnépiesebb Haydn, a legemberibb Beethoven, akit az ember már csak félve mer klasszikusnak mondani, mert ő már átlép a mi életügkbe — a ro­ mantikán keresztül. Beethoven már a saját lelkének valóságait, a saját belső problé­ máit ontja ki a zenéjében, amely még ma is sebeket tép föl és sebeket gyógyít. A kilenc közül a harmadikat játszották, a hősi szimfóniát, amely szintén jó illusztráció ahhoz a felfogáshoz, amely Beethovent szereti Shakespeare-hez hasonlítani. Ebben a szim­ fóniában csakugyan benne van a hősi élet tragédiája, amellyel szemben a tábori élet — a humort, a jókedvet, a mindennapot jelenti, nagyon hasonlóan ahhoz, ahogy Shakespeare tragédiájában látni a végzet komolyságával szemben a vígság tombo- lását.

  • Popular Music and Political Change in Post- Tuñman Croatia Dr Catherine
    ‘It’s all the same, only he’s not here’?: popular music and political change in post- Tuñman Croatia Dr Catherine Baker University of Southampton Abstract: While Franjo Tuñman was the president of Croatia (1990–99), popular music and other forms of entertainment were heavily structured around the key presidential narratives: Croatia’s political and cultural independence from Yugoslavia, and the idea that Croatia’s war effort had been purely defensive. After Tuñman, the Croatian music industry had to cope with media pluralism and the transnational challenges of the digital era. Patriotic popular music expressed an oppositional narrative of Euroscepticism and resistance to the Hague Tribunal, yet Croatia retained and expanded its position in the transnational post-Yugoslav entertainment framework, undermining a key element of Tuñman’s ideology. ‘It’s all the same, only he’s not here’?: popular music and political change in post- Tuñman Croatia In September 2002, after another summer of protests against the government extraditing Croatian generals to the Hague Tribunal, the musician Marko Perković Thompson opened his concert at the Poljud stadium in Split by projecting a video which featured himself, the singer Ivan Mikulić and the Slavonian tamburica ensemble Najbolji hrvatski tamburaši. 1 The song, called ‘Sveto tlo hrvatsko’ (‘Holy Croatian soil’), lauded the late Croatian president Franjo Tuñman, who had died in December 1999. The men sang of Tuñman’s achievements and the sudden appearance of critics who had not dared to defy him when he was alive, and Thompson, a veteran of the Homeland War, contributed a verse remembering the days when friend had stood together with friend to defend Croatia.
