Summary/Abstract: Folk music is undoubtedly an essential cultural asset with great didactic potential. The content of the paper are the ongoing results of a research survey focusing on the teachers’ usage of folk songs in music education at primary and selected secondary schools. The main ways of using this topic in the context of four fundamental teaching areas (set out in the FEP) and in other musical or interdisciplinary topics and activities are presented here. A specific group of respondents who reported to folklore activities in the questionnaire is then examined. Their answers regarding preference and especially the use of folk music in music lessons are evaluated. Everything is simultaneously compared with the answers of the remaining respondents who did not report to folklore.
