DEVELOPING THE INTEREST OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR PERFORMANCE OF TRADITIONAL SONGS

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the work is developing the interest of primary school students for performance of traditional songs. Traditional songs have the content of extraordinary value in music, moral and aesthetic education of students. They are undoubtedly an important factor in national education and a rich source of wisdom and knowledge for the younger generations. For this reason, it is necessary to encourage and develop students' interest in these subjects in teaching, as well as for their performance in everyday life. The development of interest in traditional songs among students in the area of Kosovo and Metohija today is of special educational significance and importance, because their performance contributes to the strengthening of the sense of national identity and the development of patriotism. The paper presents the results of the research which aims to determine how many students in the eighth grade are interested in performing traditional songs outside of school. The survey covered 534 elementary school students on the territory of Central Serbia and Kosovo and Metohija. The results of the survey point out that most students are not interested enough in performing traditional songs outside of school, and that they do not remember sufficiently enough the songs they learned during their eight-year schooling. Given that traditional folk songs are an important factor in upbringing, it is necessary to ensure the durability of pupils’ interest in them. The correct selection of folk songs, their revision and comprehensive introduction to the teaching of music culture and correlation with other subjects will contribute to the greater interest of students for these contents, and develop the need for their performance also out of school practice. The paper presents relevant ethnomusicological literature suitable for the selection and introduction of traditional songs. During the research, the descriptive method and method of theoretical analysis were used.
