The ‘National Coordinators’ (NCs) represent the EAS at national level.

They may cooperate in this with other representatives of the EAS, primarily with the EAS board members and with the NCs of the other countries.
In this interview, Marek Sedláček, associate professor and Head of the Department of Music at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University in Brno, explains the Czech saying “Every Czech is a musician” and the dual system of music in mainstream schools and the Elementary Art Schools (ZÚŠ). He talks about the influence of Dvořák, Janáček and Martinů alongside popular music, and takes Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony, Gershwin’s Summertime, Eric Clapton and The Beatles to his desert island. For Marek, the genuine joy of his students when they engage with music is what motivates him most.
