A school has the possibility and duty to educate students in all areas, including the area of leisure time education. Students dedicate a part of their free time to extracurricular activities organized at school. These activities are a very important and significant part of the educational work as they contribute to overall personal development through their content. The foundation for successful and quality implementation of extracurricular activities lies in the relationship between students and teachers. A teacher is a creator, and a student is a co-creator of activities. This paper focuses on extracurricular music activities through which students acquire musical knowledge and skills. The research was conducted to determine the extent to which extracurricular music activities are represented among elementary school students and whether the location of the school, gender, and age of the students influence their participation in these activities. Furthermore, preferences for organizing and leading extracurricular music activities were also researched and discussed. The results showed that schools in the City of Zagreb and Krapina-Zagorje County offer significantly more non-musical extracurricular activities compared to music activities. When comparing the number of extracurricular music activities in both counties, there was no statistically significant difference. Moreover, the most represented extracurricular music activities are Choir, Instrumental Ensembles, and Dance/Rhythm. The chi-square test determined that subject teachers are more often the leaders of extracurricular music activities compared to classroom teachers. No difference was observed in the frequency of conducting extracurricular music activities between classroom teachers and subject teachers. According to the conducted research, a significantly larger number of girls attend extracurricular music activities compared to boys. There was no difference observed in the distribution of students attending extracurricular music activities based on age range. The results of this study indicate insufficient representation of extracurricular music activities among students from 1st to 8th grade. Given that these activities contribute to the improvement of behavior, academic success, memory, creativity, and overall personal development, there is a need for a broader range of music activities and encouragement of students to participate in them.
