It first started in sorne European countries where educational concerns had a long tradition, such as Prusia, Badem, Wurttemberg, among other states of what is today known as Germany, with clear repercussions in Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, England, and so on. After the Revolution, France set set up the so-called Normal Schools, which considered music as one of their disciplines. Spain assumed this concem much later by passing legislation with sorne reservations in the second half of the nineteenth century, only to be eventually consolidated at the beginning of the twentieth century. This paper presents the Spanish Laws regarding Music as a curricular discipline both from the teacher training perspective as well as a subject in Primary Education.
