The article shows that at the congresses of Russian pedagogical figures-emigrants held in Prague in 1923 and 1925 some attention was paid to the issue of setting up music education in Russian schools Abroad. It is stated that the materials discussed and adopted at the second pedagogical Congress on this issue identified the place and role of music classes in the educational process of Russian emigrant schools, the basic foundations on which musical education of children of Russian refugees was to be built are established, and the content aspects of this education are explained. Music teaching in emigrant schools was considered as a significant factor in the aesthetic, moral and, especially, national education of students. The conclusions note that the pedagogical congresses were a unique experience of self-organization of pedagogical figures of the Russian emigration. The significance of these congresses lay in the fact that they developed common approaches to the upbringing and education (including musical education) of school students in different European countries.
