Summary/Abstract: The research into the attitudes to folklore in the youth was conducted in 14-15-year old, and partly 16-year-old youth at elementary schools and grammar schools in nine Moravian localities. The method of musically-aesthetic experiment was used with the employment of music (sound) questionnaire technique. The choice of the respondents file was done according to age criteria, type of the school, geographic location, demographic and cultural specifics of the locality. The research definitely proved that the opinion on the folklore samples in the youth was significantly differentiated; as expected, the differences appeared according to the basic viewpoint – whether the young people are educated to perceive music folklore or not. It was proved that without the educational influence of a personality who would encourage the interest in folklore the opinions of the youth are mainly negative. The value tendencies were not too dependent on the activity of the local or regional tradition. Their positive shift was recorded in the members of children folklore ensembles, instrumentalists from elementary schools of art and secondary school students.
