It asks the following questions, ‘What new does a computer contribute to the educational process realised in the area of the artistic and musical education of the school youth?’, ‘How, in the context of an advancing process of IT (Information Technology) or new media use (here: a computer, the Internet), is an issue of a pedagogue’s responsibility perceived?’. It points out some aspects of the use of the above-mentioned media in the aesthetic education of the young.
