This study aims to examine the literature on the role of music as a social instrument in shaping civic behavior in elementary schools. Through a search of academic sources from national and international journals over the past five years, it was found that music can encourage attitudes of empathy, cooperation, appreciation of differences, and active participation in the social environment. Music in the form of singing, rhythmic games, and collaborative art projects has proven effective in instilling Pancasila values and national spirit.
