Abstract

The latest research in the field of adult edu­ca­tion prove that adults wishing to engage in mu­si­cal activities and in particular to play a musical instrument are pinned high hopes. Adult learning the­ory seems ever-changing mosaic, where the old parts are transformed into new vision. In the ar­ticle there is an attempt to study the causes and motivations of adult education, investigate the differences of children's and adult education as well as provide ideas on how music teachers could work with adults to promote them op­ti­mum support.
