Abstract
National classical music serves as a crucial medium in shaping the aesthetic sensibilities and cultural identity of students, playing a vital role in artistic education across Uzbekistan. Amid a growing emphasis on holistic education, integrating musical heritage into school curricula helps form a student’s aesthetic worldview, linking emotional perception with national identity. While classical musical education is present in music and art institutions, the systematic application of national classical works for developing aesthetic consciousness and creative ability in students remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the role of national classical musical models in fostering students’ aesthetic taste, cultural values, creative thinking, and emotional perception through traditional music education. The findings demonstrate that structured exposure to national classical music significantly enhances students’ cognitive perception, emotional development, and creative expression. Students develop an understanding of beauty, historical context, and national values embedded in musical forms, leading to sustained memory, cultural continuity, and improved musical judgment. The study also identifies methods for aligning musical instruction with individual interests, behaviors, and learning capacities. This research uniquely combines aesthetic theory with cognitive learning science, proposing specific strategies to integrate national classical music into pedagogical practice for lasting emotional and educational impact. The study underscores the importance of consistent, age-appropriate inclusion of national classical music in educational programs to cultivate refined artistic taste, national consciousness, and lifelong appreciation of cultural heritage.
