The object of the research is learning motivation of music and primary school teachers. The objective of the research is to disclose peculiarities of music and primary school teacher learning motivation. The methods of the research: analysis of scientific literary sources, surveying on the basis of a specially prepared questionnaire, educational observation, qualitative and statistical data analysis. The research was carried out in 2006-2007. It included surveying of 121 extramural students of music and 64 students of primary education (studying by reference) representing different regions of the country. The ages of the research participants vary to a great extent - they range from 19 to 50 years and over. The major motives of learning music and primary education have been determined. They are seeking higher university-type education, a wish to acquire knowledge, a wish not to lag behind life, a wish to receive a diploma, internal drive, as well as a need for communication.
