The paper deals with axiological aspects of folklore as intersubjective and intrasubjective communication and the folklore values education with regard to current trends of music pedagogy, in particular the integrative music pedagogy, polyaesthetic education and humanistic-creative paradigm of music pedagogy. Currently, we can see a shift in the semantic understanding of folklore – from the “diachronic-contextual” folklore towards the folklore in the modern updated application intention. The inclusion of folklore elements in the modern educational strategy may adumbrate, in a wider context, future motivating stimuli to life-long musical or cultural cultivation of an individual, to adequate hermeneutic analysis of folk art attributes, understanding its complexity, structure, connections and communication aspects.
