1950

During the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's Kabalevsky pushed his own educational system based on conditioning children to certain songs and marches through listening, singing, and marching to music. Instead of playing instruments and developing personal skills, children were lectured about Kabalevsky's theory of "three whales" of music, and listened to the recommended songs. Millions of children in the Soviet Union became conditioned to official marches, parades and political demonstrations under officially approved music and Soviet symbolics. Such ideas were not accepted in the Baltic Republics with their deep culture of choral singing on weekends, or in Ukraine and Georgia, where folk music runs deep in every family's tradition. Kabalevsky himself was a smooth lecturer and politician; his system was funded by the Soviet government and was taught by trained instructors in thousands of Soviet public schools. In reality his "good intentions" contributed to conditioning of several generations of children to obedience, like Pavlov's dogs. Kabalevsky was awarded the Stalin's Prize (twice) and received many other Soviet State prizes and perks. He was awarded the Order of Lenin and was made the People's Artist of the USSR.
