Abstract
Croatia has in all fields of culture and art shared cultural history with other Central European countries. Although close to us, and in some segments similar, Central European countries still have their own history and cultural heritage including traditional music. This work shows the traditional music of Central European countries and analyzes the program of primary school music teaching in the Republic of Croatia, for the purpose of detecting the presence of traditional music making of Central European countries, aimed at singing and listening. The aim is to show that music, as part of the cultural and traditional creativity, can be a powerful mean of getting to know people, better understanding, and ultimately having respect for other cultures which is today in multicultural societies especially important. School as an educational and correctional institutions should contribute to intercultural education and the development of intercultural competence of students. Music as such, or teaching music, can also affect the development of personal identity that is associated with the respect for diversity. In teaching music, getting to know different musical traditions helps the students see different cultures and they will acquire tolerance for cultural diversity.
