The paper presents the results of a study in which we analysed planning of musical objectives in the psychomotor domain prepared by 372 Slovenian general education teachers. The research results showed high share of objectives pertaining to the taxonomy category of speech behaviours, which was followed by the categories of gross bodily movements, finely coordinated movements and non-verbal communication. The above facts confirm that music objectives can be classified in the prevailing psychomotor domain and show the utilization of a chosen taxonomy model. The research results also indicate that Slovenian general education teachers are aware of the need for active approaches to music teaching although they pay less attention to music objectives planning in the category of non-verbal communication which exceeds the mere use of words and represents the basis for contemporary approach of music teaching through musical doing and making.

The purpose of the study was to find out the extent to which Slovenian general education teachers follow the principles of a balanced music objectives planning in the prevailing affective, psychomotor and cognitive domains. The research sample involves 372 Slovenian student and current general education teachers who, working in pairs, prepared 186 lesson plans for music education. The research results showed that the majority of the musical objectives planned in this study, pertained to the psychomotor domain, followed by the cognitive objectives and by the least represented objectives of the affective domain.

The aim of the study was to find out which musical genres are young people’s favourite, why they listen to those specific genres and which genres they used to listen to in their childhood together with their parents. The results show that most students‘s favourite genres are pop, rock, RnB and popular folk music. The results confirm that the choice of genres listened to together with parents during childhood affects musical preferences of students.
