Summary/Abstract: Anton Pann (1794–1797? – 1854) is an important figure in Romanian culture. His multifarious activities – as a church singer, teacher, translator, folk music and literature collector, editor, printer, disseminator of his own work – were only partly researched in the twentieth century, first by literati and folklorists, and during the last decades also by Byzantinologists, who focused on his work as a typographer and editor, as well as on his contributions as a historian, composer and church music theorist. From the various facets of his personality we will try to highlight that of church music teacher, by analysing the didactic fragment from his work entitled Theoretical basis of Church Music or the Melody Grammar (1845). We will place this attempt in the educational context of the Byzantine tradition and of the time, but also in the context of its relevance to modern Romanian and European pedagogy.
