Zither is a bourgeois musical instrument, which originates from the northern countries, namely Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. The zither tradition was passed on from one generation to another. During World War II, the zither went quiet in the Slovene area. It was Miha Dovžan, who re-enthralled the public with the zither in 1973. Nowadays, there is a Zither Society of Slovenia active, which publishes the newspaper Slovene Zitherist. A lot of zither performances and seminars are organized throughout Slovenia. The purpose of the B. A. Dissertation was to introduce the history and development of the zither playing in the Slovene area, introduce today's zitherists' activeness and their education, and additionally, examine children's knowledge of zither. The empirical and pedagogical research was based on a descriptive and non-experimental method. Results were obtained via questionnaire. The results showed that there are no significant statistical differences in the knowledge of zither between the genders. However, there are significant statistical differences in the knowledge of zither between the students of the first, second and third grade, and the students of the fourth, fifth and sixth grade. Moreover, there are significant statistical differences in the knowledge of zither between students that are musically active and those who are not. Furthermore, the research revealed that exercises, which tested the knowledge of famous zitherists and distinctive zither compositions, gave the worst results. Such results were anticipated, since older students are more experienced and posses more general knowledge than students from the first to the third grade. What is more, students, who are actively involved in diverse musical activities, are in touch with different musical components which could contribute to their knowledge of zither. There are several reasons why students are not familiar with famous zitherists and zither compositions. For example, one of the reasons lies in the syllabus of primary schools, which does not explicitly require the knowledge of zither. |
