Abstract

Abstract This article explores the importance of fostering patriotism in music classes in secondary schools, emphasizing the impact of art on the formation of students’ national consciousness. It examines the role of music as an effective tool for emotionally engaging students in understanding and appreciating national values, history, and culture. The study investigates how integrating patriotic themes into music education can not only maintain students’ interest in the subject but also enhance their national identity and moral-ethical development, contributing to the harmonious development of their personalities. Music is a universal language capable of conveying emotions, ideas, and values without the need for words, making it particularly effective in fostering patriotism. Conducting patriotic education through music classes has unique advantages. Music can emotionally influence children, highlighting important patriotic themes and values. In secondary schools, music is not only a source of enjoyment and self-expression for students but also an effective means of cultivating patriotic feelings, fostering love for the homeland, and raising awareness of national values.
