Abstract: The aim of the research was to search, select, analyse, and compare YouTube
channels with videos dedicated to teaching and learning music. The comparison of the
selected channels was carried out by reviewing the characteristics of each channel, de­
tailed analysis of the videos, and assessment of the quality of interpretation, representa­
tion, and availability of the content. The obtained data showed the presence of classical
music on all channels, in addition to other types of music, such as film, videogame, pop­
ular, and traditional music. Music education videos are diverse in form and content, and
appropriate for use in various educational contexts.
Keywords: music education, tutorial, music learning, video lesson, YouTube

Izvleček: Cilj raziskave je bil iskati, izbrati, analizirati in primerjati YouTubove kanale z vi­
deoposnetki, namenjenimi poučevanju in učenju glasbe. Primerjava vsebine kanalov je
potekala s pregledom značilnosti posameznega kanala, podrobno analizo videoposnet­
kov in z oceno kakovosti interpretacije ter reprezentacije in dostopnosti vsebin. Prido­
bljeni podatki so pokazali prisotnost klasične glasbe na vseh kanalih in vključujejo glas­
bene videoposnetke o različnih zvrsteh, kot so pop, filmska glasba, glasba za videoigre,
tradicionalna/ljudska in svetovna glasba. Videoposnetki so različni po vsebini in obliki
ter primerni za uporabo v različnih kontekstih učenja in poučevanja.
