INTRODUCTION
Music education plays an important role in developing

music and classical works of art serve to develop students'
artistic thinking, emotional perception, and creative
abilities. At the same time, music shapes children's
aesthetic attitude to life and enriches their spiritual world.

characteristics of children are important in aesthetic
education. While the goal is to develop emotional
perception by listening to simple musical works for
younger school-age students, classes are held in higher
grades aimed at analyzing complex musical works and
understanding their aesthetic content. Such an approach
deepens students' musical thinking and encourages them to
think creatively. Folk music and classical works are
effectively used as pedagogical tools in the educational
process. Folk music forms respect for national values in
students, helps them understand their national identity.
Works of art develop children's ability to empathize and
teach them human qualities.
The cooperation of teachers and parents is of great
importance in music education. By providing musical
aesthetic education during the lesson and enriching artistic
information at home, it is possible to increase students'
interest in music and develop their creative potential. The
joint efforts of parents and teachers increase the
effectiveness of the educational process. The combination
of music, visual arts and literature expands children's
perceptual abilities and creates synergy in the formation of
their aesthetic taste. By listening to folk songs, enriching
their content through visual arts and connecting them with
literature, creative thinking is developed in students. Music
education is an important means of developing not only
aesthetic taste and creativity in children's education, but
also the formation of human qualities. Combining folk
music and classical art with modern pedagogical
technologies in the educational process plays a key role in
the effective aesthetic education of children. This approach
promotes students' musical thinking, emotional perception,
and spiritual growth.
METHODS
The research was aimed at studying the pedagogical
foundations of the formation of aesthetic taste in children
through folk songs, and theoretical and practical methods

scientific literature on the artistic characteristics and
educational potential of folk music and folklore songs was
studied. In particular, the role of genres such as lullabies,
ritual and labor songs in the development of spiritual and
aesthetic abilities in children was analyzed. These analyses

dramatizations and performance exercises were organized
in the classes based on folklore songs. This process served

DISCUSSION
Aesthetic education plays an important role in the
formation of children's abilities to perceive, understand and
appreciate beauty. Especially at the younger school age,
this process is considered the most favorable period for
personal spiritual development and the formation of
creative abilities. Aesthetic education is of great
importance not only for understanding art and developing
artistic creativity, but also for ensuring moral and
emotional well-being. Aesthetic education is the
organization of activities and life that help develop
children's aesthetic feelings, form an idea and knowledge
about beauty in life and art, give aesthetic assessments and
form an aesthetic attitude to things around them.
Not everyone can become a composer, writer or artist, but
everyone can learn to love, appreciate and understand
beauty in art, nature, social life, human actions and
everyday life. However, beauty not only gives pleasure,
makes you happy, but also inspires high and noble feelings,
thoughts, great deeds and heroism. The pursuit of beauty
in behavior, life, clothing, the understanding of the beauty
of creative work is closely related to the correct formation
of moral beliefs and the upbringing of good taste. The
ability to feel and understand beauty does not develop by
itself, it must be consistently developed from childhood.
Striving for this goal means achieving aesthetic education.
This helps to form a harmoniously developed personality
and occupies an important place in the school education
system.
In the process of implementing aesthetic education, the
primary school teacher has wide opportunities for creative
activity. During this activity, he must solve the following
tasks: to consistently develop aesthetic perception,
aesthetic feelings and imagination in children, to form their
artistic and creative abilities, and to develop the
foundations of aesthetic taste. Therefore, the main task of
a modern educational school is to educate a harmoniously
developed personality. Aesthetic education plays a major
role in the formation of a harmoniously developed
personality. Today, one of the most important tasks is to
significantly improve aesthetic education and art

education.
It is necessary to develop a sense of beauty in students, to
form a high aesthetic taste, to teach them to appreciate
works of art, historical and architectural monuments, the
beauty and wealth of mother nature. For these purposes, it
is very important to use the potential of each academic
subject, especially literature, music, fine arts, labor
education, and aesthetics, because they have great
cognitive and educational power. But parents should not be
left out of solving these important tasks. In families that
understand this well, the aesthetic education of children
begins long before they go to school.
Aesthetic education is a part of moral, labor and physical
education, aimed at the comprehensive development of a
new person, in which intellectual and physical perfection
is combined with a high culture of feelings. An aesthetic
attitude to the worldview is, of course, not limited to
observing beauty, but, first of all, is the desire to create
according to the laws of beauty. Aesthetic education is
inextricably linked with labor education. “Labor education
cannot be imagined without knowledge of the beauty in the
goals, content and process of labor, just as aesthetic
education cannot be imagined without active creative
activity and the struggle for the realization of ideals.”
Aesthetic taste represents an assessment of existence based
on a person’s ideas about beauty, ugliness, humor, tragedy,
etc. Each person should cultivate, enrich and improve his
own aesthetic taste. Aesthetic education involves the
formation of a person’s ability to understand and
appreciate art and beauty.
Aesthetic taste is a feeling of satisfaction or dissatisfaction
that arises in the process of perceiving and evaluating the
aesthetic qualities of events and phenomena, and is
expressed in a person's thoughts, behavior, and creative
products. This ability allows one to distinguish beauty from
ugliness and enjoy it. The formation of aesthetic taste
should be absorbed into a person's inner world, based on
their life experience and beliefs. This process is associated
with the adaptation of aesthetic knowledge and views to
the individual, harmonizing emotional and intellectual
experiences.
Folk songs are one of the important means of aesthetic
education. The use of folk songs in music lessons is an
effective tool for developing children's artistic thinking,
emotional perception and creative abilities. This process
encourages students to reveal their creative potential and
serves their formation as full members of society. At the
same time, the use of art as a pedagogical tool in the
educational process becomes more effective when
combined with technology. Interactive methods, visual
materials and activities that develop creative activities
increase interest in art and improve the level of aesthetic
perception. In the process of aesthetic education, it is
necessary to take into account the age characteristics of
students and develop special pedagogical approaches for
them. To increase the effectiveness of this process, it is
important to ensure the harmony of classroom and
extracurricular activities and strengthen the professional
training of teachers.
CONCLUSION
Folk songs are an important pedagogical tool in the
formation of aesthetic taste in children, as they reflect the
culture, traditions and aesthetic views of the people. These
songs develop the ability to feel, appreciate and understand
beauty in children, enrich musical hearing, emotional
perception
and
creative thinking.
The
figurative
expressiveness and emotional impact of folk songs
increase children's respect for national values, and increase
their interest in national culture. At the same time, these
songs have educational value not only in school lessons,
but also in the family environment. Parents can strengthen
their love of beauty by singing folk songs with their
children.
Organizing lessons based on folk songs allows children to
develop musical hearing and creative abilities. Studying
folk songs in music, literature, and fine arts lessons,
analyzing their artistic features and content, is effective for
aesthetic education. In addition, involving children in
creative activities based on folk songs, for example,
drawing pictures, preparing stage performances, or re-
performing songs, stimulates their aesthetic taste and
creativity. Organizing live performances by local folklore
groups within the framework of school-neighborhood
cooperation allows children to get acquainted with folk
culture and art. The widespread use of audio and visual
resources related to folk songs in the educational process
increases the effectiveness of the educational process. It is
also important to increase their interest by explaining the
historical and cultural context of folk songs in a language
that children understand.
In conclusion, folk songs are of incomparable importance
in developing children's musical taste, spiritual maturity,

and respect for national values. Their deep integration into
the process of aesthetic education serves to develop in
children an appreciation of beauty, creativity, and a sense
of national identity. Therefore, the widespread use of folk
songs as a means of aesthetic education is not only a
pedagogical but also a national cultural task.
