Abstract

This paper examines the musical preferences of students in the fourth and eighth classes of elementary school towards folk music. Four variables were selected, and their influence on preferences towards folk music were examined. The research framework applied a general data survey and an evaluation scale to examine preferences towards musical selections on a sample of 157 pupils in the fourth and eighth year of elementary school. The results confirm that there is no statistically significant difference in the preference of male and female pupils towards folk music, nor is there a difference in preference towards folk music between fourth and eighth year pupils. The results also show that pupils generally prefer vocal and vocal-instrumental folk music to instrumental folk music, and that they generally prefer folk music from Dalmatia as opposed to folk music from other parts of Croatia.
