The article analyzes a currently topical problem – moral education of children. Scientists and educationalists, having explored the issues of children’s moral education, acknowledge that the development of a person open to moral values as well as his/her moral consciousness, and the formation of moral behaviour necessitate both rational and intuitive fundamentals of a personality invoked by ethno-music. Theoretical analysis discloses the relevance and impact of ethno-music on the moral education of pre-school children. Children’s moral education is based on children’s experience and closely related to their personal problems and the ones of the surrounding environment, which ensures the formation of a moral personality. It is maintained that special attention should be paid to the development of emotions and feelings, which is significant in education children’s moral behaviour. KEY WORDS: pre-school children, development of moral behaviour, values of ethno-music, parents, teachers.

Nowadaysvocal pedagogy is based on inherited pedagogical traditions, personalexperience and singing practice. Jean Callaghan's research on the work of vocalpedagogues in Australian universities claims that there is insufficientknowledge of physiologial and acoustical concepts during work with students,and in many cases misinformative in relation to various aspects of singing (Callaghan, 1998).Theauthor, after observing voice lessons and conducting qualitative interviewswith vocal instructors at the Jāzeps Vītols Music Academy Opera Class in 2008,revealed similar problems – misconceptions of many physiological aspects ofsinging, including issues about a singer's posture. These concepts requirefurther study and research during vocal teaching, thus its topicality and thereason for this work. Thevoice teacher must be very observant and pay special attention to the student'sposture. The breathing mechanism and any other physiological processes whichinfluence breathing are subject to risk if they are not taken intoconsideration as prerequisites of correct posture. The term prerequisites ofcorrect posture does not mean a specific, predetermined condition but ratherfree, self-confident, impulse control and awareness.Withimproved self-awareness one can optimize their physical movements. With properbreathing based on J. Pilates'method, is meant breathing in motion with the body (Robinson, Gordon, 2002).Observationof these prerequisites is very important during voice lessons, whereas thesinger's natural and attractive appearance is the result of many interrelatedsecondary factors. The acquisition of natural coordination is required to gainefficient use of muscles, freedom of movement and effortless production.Thesefactors can be taught not only by physical manipulation, but alsopsychologically, by fostering character building and confidence.

(Dimon, 1999).Pedagogicalexperience shows that self-awareness in singing is not always objective.Improper use of the body are usually unconscious postural habits and thestudent may perceive them as normal. (Tinbergen, 1973).Toimprove posture or improve the use of the body, the teacher should pay moreattention to the pelvic area (lumbar region), chest area (toracle region) andneck area (cervical region).

Research relevance is determined by severalsignificant conditions, which derive from the socio-economical situation andopportunities of adolescent personality development that are linked to thissituation: the socio-economical circumstances in the family, the mutualrelationship between parents and children in the family, various stereotypesabout hip-hop as an uncontrolled crowd behaviour, etc. Basedon the theoretical and empirical data, the article analyzes hip-hop culture,the attitude towards it and its possibilities of providing an awareness ofadolescents as personalities. Hip-hop values serve as additional resources toformal education, as they teach the adolescent to search for non-standardcreative solutions within instable and difficult-to-predict situations, to beaware of own identity in the family, at school and in society. Conducted empirical studies suggest thatpedagogy that is based on values of hip-hop culture helps to decrease thetension caused by different cultures and nationalities, as the new generationreconciles the contradictions through artistic expressions instead of usingaggressive actions against those holding alternative views. Hip-hop as acultural phenomenon is linked to the principles of social justice. Adolescentsmake use of kinaesthetic means of expression to communicate their identity,this way overcoming the linguistic barriers. The adolescent has a possibilityto integrate into the cultural environment by preserving personal identity. Thecompetitiveness of hip-hop dance helps in self-affirmation and in findingapproval – the adolescent feels understood. Hip-hop dance becomes a pedagogicalmeans of social integration and of stabilizing social situations.

In the secondpart of the research, high school headmaster and teachers, who wereinterviewed, participated in the research.Asa result of the research, it was concluded that teachers are mostly satisfiedwith the chosen profession. Analysis of the identified correlations showed thatthere is a significant correlation between school management and teacher jobsatisfaction and between several levels of interpersonal relationships andvarious aspects of quality of education.
