Abstract
Presentation of the development of teaching of Singing in elementary school at the Croatian territory we are going to begin with the period that is marked by flourishing of national consciousness and aspirations of smaller nations for independence, that leads to the involvement of the Croatian language in schools. By using the national language was also introduced music as a compulsory subject in school under the name Singing. During this period arose first songbooks, textbooks and manuals in the Croatian language. Music pedagogues, teachers and other authors of the musical pedagogical literature, under the impact from the national movement, recognized the importance of folk songs for singing lessons, and not only as an instrument for national education, but also as an important instrument for the didactic fulfillment of musical, educational and aesthetic goals of singing. This was a period of institutional reform in education in which have been adopted important school laws that set the foundations of national education. Significant contribution to the development of music pedagogy gave Franjo Kuhač and Vjenceslav Novak who are among the first to reflect on teaching methods in teaching of Singing, which lay the foundations of the development of musical pedagogical thought in Croatia.
