The key age of a child's development is preschool and early school age. It is very important to include music in the child's life and education as early as possible, since it has been proven to affect the development of the child's brain. Listening to music and singing songs encourages the development of speech and listening skills. The sense of hearing is associated with the concept of musical hearing, which can be divided into absolute and relative musical hearing, the first of which is acquired at birth, and the second develops throughout life. Development takes place in the family, through the media, in the environment and in formal education. In elementary school, it is the subject called Music Education. Through musical education classes, students significantly form their musical competences and develop their taste and interest in music, creativity and ultimately personality. The main starting point in learning and teaching is the experience of music itself, during which students get to know musical instruments and instrumental groups, singing voices and vocal groups, basic musical forms, and by listening, recognize musical works and their characteristics and analyze them. Through various compositions, the sounds of numerous stringed instruments appear, the most prominent of which is the violin. The sound of the violin can affect human emotions and mood, and some even compare it to the sound of the human voice. The aim of the conducted research was to use the method of content analysis to examine the representation of the violin sound in compositions for listening to music in the first four grades of primary school, i.e. in what percentage the sound of the violin appears in these compositions and whether it appears more often independently (as a solo instrument) or as part of an orchestra . In the research of this paper, it was found that the sound of the violin appears in 66% of the analyzed compositions, to the greatest extent within the orchestra, then it does not appear at all, and to the least extent as a solo instrument with or without orchestra accompaniment.
