The paper discusses the pedagogical potential of music education for developing national and cultural thinking in primary school pupils (Grades I–IV). It distinguishes cognitive, affective-value, creative-activity, and reflective dimensions and proposes a five-stage instructional model combining listening, interpretation, performance, and reflection. The contribution is conceptual and methodological; the proposed approach requires subsequent empirical validation.
