ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate and to point the way to a better understanding of Plato’s philosophy of music education. His ideas face tantalizing problems at the first stage of its realization: 1) Who gives lessons in music? 2) Who composes and plays the music? The close text analysis will show that the music education should be practiced not by musicians but by philosophers. Moreover, Plato’s view, which asserts the absolute status of music education, can provide us a firm philosophical foundation and a proper prerequisite for the self-esteem of music teachers.
