Young learner’s musical taste is influenced mostly by media and family. However, the school as the place where learners spend the most of their time, namely the teaching of musical culture applying the open model, can affect their musical taste. The research of the musical taste of learners in their second, third and fourth grade in two primary schools in Virovitica was conducted in March, 2014. The aim of this thesis was to define the musical taste of young learners and to answer the following questions: What is the musical taste of the learners?; What are the most common reasons to listen to music?; Does the mass media influence the musical taste of the learners?; Does the music that learners’ parents listen to at home affects the learners’ music choice?; Do the learners listen to classical music at home?; Are there any differences, among those listening to classical music, between learners who attend music school and those who do not? The research has shown that surveyed learners listen to pop and rock music. Majority of the learners listen to classical music at home as a result of musical education they receive at school which expanded horizons and decreased the influence of the mass media. Under the influence of their parents, the learners listen to folk music at home and the quality of such music is questionable because it is assumed to be newly composed.
