Traditional culture is a social and cultural heritage that represents the authenticity and identity of both the community and each individual within that community. This paper investigates primary education students' preferences towards traditional music culture, which is an important topic, given the assumption that students like this type of music. The aim of the research is to examine the extent to which primary education students prefer traditional music, instruments and dances, to determine their knowledge, skill and frequency of playing traditional instruments. In addition, the goal is to establish the participation of students in extracurricular and extracurricular activities on the same topic. The research methodology involves surveying students to gather data on their preferences and participation in traditional music. The results reveal that students have a positive attitude towards traditional musical culture, they know traditional songs and dances, but they know less about playing traditional instruments. These results can be linked to the lack of quality means for learning, the lack of appropriate extracurricular activities related to traditional music, insufficient education of teachers and their insufficient involvement in the transmission of traditional musical culture. The conclusion of the research points to the need to improve teaching materials, improve teaching itself and increase the availability of extracurricular activities related to traditional music, as well as for additional teacher education in order to ensure a high-quality and effective transfer of traditional musical culture to students. Further research should examine in more detail the understanding of the reasons for the low participation of students in traditional music and the development of methods that will encourage greater involvement of students in these activities.
