Abstract

This paper studies the attitudes of fourth and eighth graders of elementary schools from Splitsko-dalmatinska and Hercegovacko-neretvanska Counties toward music in general and to Music Education. The results have confi rmed a signifi cant infl uence of gender, age and place of residence on pupils’ attitudes toward music. Furthermore, the results have indicated that pupils like listening classical music, and that singing is their preferred activity in Music lessons. The author concludes that pupils like music and that it plays an important role in their lives. Subsequent researches could examine the attitudes of highschool students toward Music teaching and music in general.
