Abstract
The academic research is targeted at introducing the readers to this complex reality of music education in Russia, based on serious empirical work. The discussion covers a wide area: from traditional national music, which is representative of important cultural and historical values, to the contemporary rich variety within this musical landscape, and an extraordinary development within a series of styles and technologies. It specifically addresses such questions from this national music platform as special notational values of the music in performance practice, a description of traditional uses of such instruments as Uray Kurai, and other highly distinctive vocal arts used for throat singing. The features and characteristic processes of such pop genres as rock-and-roll in modern music are looked into even closer, as is a history of development and enormous contribution to the spirit of the hip-hop genre.
