Summary/Abstract: The beneficial effect of music on the adolescent is the subject of many studies.. The present study traces the changes in the concentration and stability of the attention of 6-7 year old children in mastering the program requirements in Bulgarian language and literature under the influence of music and without music. There is a significant improvement in the qualities of children's attention in the middle and at the end of the pedagogical situation as a result of listening to musical works. Experimental research proves that the inclusion of music as an emotionally stimulating stimulus in learning activates children's attention, increases the intellectual productivity of children and ensures a higher quality of educational interaction.
