STUDENT’ ASSOCIATION OF MUSIC EDUCATION
Student’s Association of Music Education (KNEM) by the Faculty of Choral Conducting, Music Education and Rhythmics came into being on 1st October 2006. An active participation of two students of Music Education on Student International Forum in Würzburg (Germany) was the impulse to the formation of this association. Thanks to the commitment of Professor Zbigniew Bruna who is the director of Music Education and Rhythmics Department, initially informal meetings became registered.
