The association Muzika u koracima (MooK) was founded in 2020 on the island of Krk with the aim of bringing music and arts education closer to children and young people, particularly in smaller local communities.

The idea for establishing the association emerged from the shared desire of a group of enthusiasts and professionals to make music accessible, alive and experiential, and to enable each individual to develop their own potential through a high-quality and individualised approach to education.

Our vision is based on a holistic approach to learning, in which music is experienced and developed through multiple senses, while integrating content from different fields. We believe that every person can actively develop their skills, interests and creativity when provided with a programme tailored to their affinities, competences and abilities.

In our work, we interweave various branches of art and science with the aim of supporting personal and professional development, seeing the outcome of this process in the formation of a well-rounded, self-aware and creative individual. For us, the concept of culture connects all areas of our activity — musical, physical and visual — as a culture of creation, learning and living.

We place particular emphasis on working in areas distant from major urban centres, believing that place of residence should not be a barrier to individual development. Our goal is to create conditions and design programmes that provide everyone with access to quality arts education and opportunities to develop their potential.

Members of the Muzika u koracima association are professionals from various fields of education and the arts — musicians, educators, kinesiologists, teachers and artists — with extensive experience working with children and adults. Many of them are active professionals and award recipients in their respective fields.
