John Pestalozzi and Jean-Jacques Rousseau are Swiss theorists, philosophers, and psychologists who participated in music education theories with a consideration of the psychological tendency during the eighteenth century; their theories are still considered as a primarily educational basis to many scholars in the educational field. They both gave music education special attention in their philosophy and cared for the stage of childhood as a basis to build the individual. This study aims at monitoring the most important aspects in the philosophy of music education existed in the method of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Pestalozzi, and comparing the fundamental aspects of the education-oriented guaranteed by both approaches, resulting to comprehensive outcomes that can be used in the music education field. The research concluded several results, and the most important were: 1. Each of Rousseau and Pestalozzi agreed on common principles in the philosophy of music education; to encourage the child to practice singing, to write songs of his own, and that children should be taught to listen to music and re-produce music before learning to read musical notes. 2. Rousseau’s own principles were that the child must sing songs that reflect his interests, also he advised to sing songs without words, and encouraged to stimulate the child to dance and move with the music. 3. Pestalozzi’s own principles were that music education should start from birth, and that singing for the child should be fun.
