Yes, though it is not a core subject within the school curriculum. Instead, it is offered as an extracurricular activity under the title "Musical Culture" and is available through virtual lessons on the Ministry of Education’s dedicated platform, 'Madrasati.' This project was initiated by the Music Commission in collaboration with the Ministry of Education on May 16, 2022. Later that year, approximately one hundred private schools integrated music education into their subjects with support and empowerment from the Ministry of Culture.
The activity offers an enriching curriculum designed to give students a foundational understanding of music, including skills in reading musical notation, an introduction to global artist styles, and the ability to differentiate between Saudi folk music styles.
The activity covers topics such as musical concepts, theories, techniques, selected instruments, their classifications, manufacturing, and playing techniques. It also includes topics like 'An Overview of Notable Musicians' and 'Saudi Musical Heritage,' which introduce students to the diverse traditional music styles from different provinces of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
