Muzikinis ugdymas – viena iš pagrindinių estetinio ugdymo sudedamųjų dalių. Muzikavimas teikia vaikui teigimų emocijų, kurios yra būtina sąlyga normaliam ir visapusiam vaiko vystymuisi. Esminiai mokyklinio amžiaus vaikų muzikinio ugdymo tikslai yra „įauginti“ vaiką į tautos muzikinę kultūrą, formuoti gerą muzikinį skonį, estetinį muzikos suvokimą, lavinti muzikinius gabumus, mokėjimus bei įgūdžius. Muzikos vadyba – sudėtinga veikla, kuri užima ypatingą vietą mūsų besikeičiančioje visuomenėje. Tyrimo tikslas - išsiaiškinti muzikinių renginių organizavimo vadybinius aspektus.
