Abstract
Malaysia is a country made up of various races that practice their respective cultures. Therefore, unity is often the main agenda to ensure the peace and continuity of the country's development. Various national policies as well as education policies have been enacted to unite people from different backgrounds to foster a spirit of unity. In education, curriculum plays a vital role in determining the success of an education system. However, it was found that the primary school Music Education curriculum tends to be westernized and less emphasis is placed on the cultural elements of the local community. Therefore, all parties involved must give the existing curriculum some serious thought. This article discusses Malaysian primary school's music education from cultural perspectives based on several literature reviews. Furthermore, the cultural aspects of the songs selected in the primary schools’ music textbooks are also verified.
