This article analyses intergenerational transmission of musical knowledge and skills, (i.e., methods of musical teaching and learning) in the community of Romani musicians in Klenovec and Kokava in Slovakia. With the help of theories on music education (Merriam, Van den Bos, Turino etc.), it compares the Slovak institutionalized system of music education with traditional methods of musical learning and teaching inside the musicians' communities in Klenovec and Kokava.

Specifics of Romani methods of acquiring music are discussed, with particular focus on how these specifics are manifested in actual music - making and music itself. The article is based upon ethnographic data collected during the author's own ethnographic research (2015).
