Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to problematize the category of children’s song and to critically characterise the functions that children’s songs fulfil (or should fulfil) in early education. The author presents various perspectives of describing children’s songs as specific texts of culture, as well as points out their place in organized forms of early music education. Both subject literature and the author’s personal experience reveal that the postulated value of children’s songs vanishes when confronted with the requirement of so called “integrated education”.
