The paper discusses the work of music teachers in the theological schools between the two world wars. The theoretical model is based on the metaphor ?landscape of knowledge?, which is used in the music pedagogy, and the methodological approach is based on the concept of micronarratives. The focus is on four strong individual pedagogues - Dr Jefto Prnjatovic, Boris Volobujev, Mirko Pavlovic and Uros Jurisic - with the aim to position spiritual, social, institutional and cultural context of their activities, to consider how their knowledge from other, non-music, areas was relevant for teaching experience in the sphere of church singing, and to determine the (dis)continuity of pedagogical practices with regard to the period before the First World War. These pedagogues were chosen because their pedagogical activities lasted continually for at least ten years, because of the theological schools in which they worked and because of the fact that there is very little knowledge about their work in this area.
