Abstract

The establishment in 1921 of a music school by the Ateneu Igualadí de la Classe Obrera (Athenaeum of Igualada for the Working Classes), did not only respond to the needs of the members of this entity for artistic training, but it also gave access to music education to all students enrolled in their schools. This work was entrusted to Manuel Borguñó who had vast experience in professional music education and as conductor of choral groups and some experience, though less extensive, in teaching music in primary schools, organizing and giving music lessons to students aged between five and fourteen. Our aim is to present and analyze the educational work that took place during the decade that Borguño was in charge of the musical training of this institution, as well as his vision of how music should be introduced into Catalan schools.

Key words: Manuel Borguñó, Music Education, Ateneu Igualadí de la Classe Obrera, Catalonia.
