Abstract

The aim of the article is to draw attention to the essence of music education in grades I-III of primary school (early school education) and students' understanding of the language of music. Music is an important element in the life and development of children who willingly participate in musical games and activities. This type of activity is important because it stimulates not only musical skills, but also influences the comprehensive development of students. In order to determine whether children under­stand the language of music, direct, participant observation was carried out among pupils from grades I-III of primary school. Its aim was to identify students' reactions while participating in music workshops. The collected research material and its qualitative analysis allowed us to conclude that the language of music is understandable and attractive to students. Adding general development values, it should be postulated that music education should be a permanent, everyday element of school education.
