Abstract

While searching for effective ways of religious education of children, both pedagogy of religion and catechesis resort to culture and encourage building a spiritual family culture. It is, therefore, worthwhile to undertake a challenge to search for various forms of reinforcing the spiritual culture of a family, for instance, by means of music education, in particular, teaching the reception of church music strictly related to liturgy. Since sacred music is deeply rooted in the Old Testament and the mystery of Salvation through Our Lord Jesus Christ, it should be first and foremost analyzed through the biblical perspective.
