The theme of this paper is extracurricular musical activities in schools of the Nova Gradiska region. In this paper, first we talking about what the extracurricular activities are, how they are implemented in schools, what their role is, how to organize the work in them and what are some of the issues concerning them. These are the activities where childrn spend their free time, and they choose them according to their will and desire, the choice of the content of work is often left to themselves, it is not imposed upon them and that is why the students enjoy them and are very happy to attend such activities. One of these activities are musical activities in which the children are involved because they love music, love to sing, play and dance. In this paper, the following music activities have been described: the choir, a cappella groups, folklore groups and tamburitza orchestra. For each activity we will describe how to work with children, specific issues of individual activities, we will give musical examples used in the work, analyze and describe the process of adjustment of these musical examples. This paper also presents the research conducted in schools of the Nova Gradiska region, which showed that children are generally not inclined to participate in extracurricular activities, especially in extracurricular musical activities. It was found that girls are more involved in artistic activities, while boys prefer to engage in sports activities.Children usually attend the activity of the choir. What proved to be statistically significant are differences in the offer of extracurricular music activities with regard to the place of residence; at schools in the country students are more interested in activities related to traditions and customs, such as the tambura orchestra and folklore, and at school in the city children have shown increasing interest in dance groups and playing individual instruments. Children who attend musical activities do it on a regular basis and actively participate in the work. The reasons for nonattendance of musical activities are a lack of interest in music, feeling bored at such activities, and a lack of time to attend such activities because of attending some other extracurricular activities.
