The current stage of development in the Republic of Uzbekistan is characterized by the implementation of fundamental qualitative changes in all aspects of social life. Naturally, the solution of this huge task is inextricably linked with the constant increase and improvement of the creative activity of our citizens. The development of the spiritual life of society is associated with the scientific nature of people's ideas about spirituality and science, as well as their correct theoretical and practical basis. The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Sh.M. Mirziyoyev, said, “If we want to know and study the true, authentic art, first of all, we must know and study the classical art of makom. We must mobilize all our resources so that the melodies, spirit and philosophy of makom take a deep place in the hearts of every person, and first of all, in the minds and hearts of our growing young generation” [1.], emphasizing the need for a broader approach to musical education. After all, the more we promote our national music among the younger generation, the more they will develop a sense of national identity. If we want to glorify our Uzbekistan to the world, glorify its ancient history and bright future, and preserve it in the memory of generations, first of all, we must educate great writers, great poets, and great creators. Why? when you say, great writer Cho'lpon as they say, literature if he lives - nation lives.

In particular, by using national pop songs in the subject of music culture, it is possible to interest students in national music, develop their artistic taste and enrich their spiritual world. Educating young people as individuals loyal to national values, patriotic and with aesthetic taste is a priority task of the education system. The art of music is an educational tool that has a strong impact on the spiritual world of young people. In particular, national pop songs are a form of Uzbek folk melodies combined with modern musical melodies, which instills love for national music in students. Therefore, the use of pop songs in music culture lessons is important in forming national musical thinking and love in students. National pop songs are a new interpretation of the Uzbek musical heritage, combining the melodic characteristics of folk melodies with elements of modern pop music. These songs express ideas such as love for the Motherland, friendship, humanity, and goodness, and strengthen the sense of national identity in the hearts of young people. Literature review. "Estrada" (Spanish estrado - platform) was originally a stage art used in the sense of. Late 19th century - early 20th century in Europe, pop art was formed as a mass art form that included songs, dances, satire, small plays, and musical performances. Because by the 20th century, there was enough practical and theoretical basis for pop art to stand out as a type of art. [7.-B.244.] Its origins lie in the socio-cultural environment of European cities, particularly in stage formats such as cafes, cabarets, and music halls. Pop art is distinguished from other types of stage by its specific characteristics, such as its synthetic nature, multi-genreness, and direct interaction with the audience. The main specific feature of pop art is its short, artistically complete forms. Each performance (music, dance, monologue) expresses an independent idea and requires concise and vivid means of expression to achieve a high aesthetic effect. It is also distinguished by its multi-genre system, which includes vocals, speech (monologue, feuilleton, satire), dance, acrobatics and circus miniatures. This synthetic approach serves to satisfy the needs of various audiences. The viewing process is often led by a presenter (program host), which ensures the continuity of the performances and allows artists to establish a lively dialogue with the audience. In addition to the aesthetic function of pop art, it also performs a social function, providing spiritual recreation for society and a humorous look at social problems. Although national pop songs are rooted in folk melodies, they are brought closer to the younger generation through modern interpretations. Their main musical features are as follows: Melodic features – makom lines and intonations taken from folk melodies are widely used in songs. Rhythmic structure – rhythmic techniques typical of modern pop music are combined with national melodies. Performance style - Along with folk melodies, stage performance culture is also evident in the songs. The diversity of themes – Homeland, love, friendship, kindness, the anthem of the motherland – constitute social ideas. For example, songs such as Sherali Jurayev's "O'zbekiston", Ozodbek Nazarbekov's "Qizil Olma", Yulduz Usmonova's "Vatan", and Gulsanam Mamazoitova's "Dil so'zlari" have become widely popular, combining nationalism and modernity. We can study the methodology of using pop songs in music culture lessons as follows. The process of using pop songs in music culture SCIENCE AND INNOVATION INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 OCTOBER 2025 ISSN: 2181-3337 | SCIENTISTS.UZ 36 lessons requires methodological skills from the teacher, and during the lessons, students are taught concepts and skills about national pop music. During the lessons, students listen to a song from an audio or video recording, and the teacher provides brief information about the content of the piece they listened to. The teacher analyzes the work with the students - discussing the musical structure, content, rhythmic and melodic features of the song. In addition, students are asked to work on the text of the work they have studied - the artistic images in the song, the ideological content, and national values are explained. Analysis and results. During the lesson, the teacher involved students in singing individually or in groups, encouraging them to perform in various ways to develop stage performance skills. The teacher teaches classes using interactive methods - organizing musical games, tasks, quizzes based on songs, and using multimedia tools. This process allows students to not only listen to the song, but also deeply understand and perform it, and feel the national art. One of the main tasks of national pop songs is to instill a love for national music in the hearts of young people. During the training, a sense of love for national music is formed in them by developing the following tools: Developing musical taste - students will understand the difference between national and modern music and enrich their aesthetic views. Patriotic education - songs foster loyalty to the homeland and a sense of national pride. Developing creative activity - students demonstrate their creative abilities by performing, staging, and singing songs in new interpretations. Building teamwork - by performing a song as a team, students are educated in a spirit of respect and cooperation for each other. Conclusion/Recommendations.
