Simulation Incubator as an Activation Method of Music Management Teaching at the Faculty of Education

Abstract

The paper aims to show the reader how to use an economic-manager instrument in the shape of an incubator in the teaching process at the faculty of pedagogy. The research on the importance of using a simulation incubator as an activation teaching method is integrated into the subject Introduction to Management in Music and further subjects – Grant Projects in Culture (taught at the Department of Music at the Faculty of Pedagogy in Plzeň). These subjects should prepare the students for the future role of a project manager in the sphere of culture and art projects. Students acquire theoretical knowledge and terminology they can later use to realize their own project in a simulated incubator – the former Jesuit College Refectory in Klatovy. The method of teaching Introduction of Music Management stems from Graham Wells’ theory and his art of thinking, which is the methodology basis of research.
