We consider the aspect of students’ patriotic education in the professional instrumental training class on the basis of a selection of the most relevant for the pedagogical process meaning of the concept “patriotism” and the use of information from the field of musical local lore. The need to include in the pedagogical process intellectual conversations on patriotism as a subject of philosophy, political science is justified by a brief analysis of the existence in the Russian cultural environment of a popular quote from the heritage of S. Johnson. The concept of “patriotism” is comprehended in accordance with the definition of the German philosopher M. Merton, as well as in accordance with the works of I. Vernadsky, B. Chicherin and others. The main thesis being proved is that patriotism is not only a goal, but also a mean of education. The declared pedagogical position is based on the experience of patriotic education in domestic pedagogy, presented by the works of K.D. Ushinsky, V.P. Vakhterov, N.A. Korf, N.I. Pirogov, L.N. Tolstoy, P.P. Blonsky, P.F. Kapterev and others. Intellectualization in the “teacher-student” dialogue space is used as the main technique for the implementation of patriotic education. A selection of works recommended for inclusion in the repertoire of an instrumental musician is presented. The theoretical attitude is confirmed by examples of musicians’ works, whose names are cultural symbols of the Tambov Region: A.N. Verstovsky, S.V. Rachmaninov, F.I. Chaliapin, V.I. Agapkin, I.A. Shatrov. Particular emphasis is placed on the theme of the Great Patriotic War in the work of the modern Tambov composer – O.I. Egorova.
