Abstract

This dissertation investigates the state of music in the learning area Arts and Culture in Curriculum 2005 in the Primary schools of the Western Cape Metropole. It attempts to identify the problems experienced by the general class teacher in the Foundation and Intermediate phases who are involved with the implementation of this learning area. It does so by exploring the history of music education in the Cape from 1652 to the present and reflects on some of the philosophies involved in music education from Western and African points of view. The main body of the study focuses on a questionnaire completed by general class teachers in the two applicable phases.
