Venezuela's music education system is renowned for El Sistema, the National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras and Choirs, founded in 1975. El Sistema provides free music education to children across the country, aiming to foster social development through musical practice. While El Sistema is a prominent part of the Venezuelan musical landscape, it doesn't define the entire curriculum for primary school music education.

Information about the specific curriculum for 3rd grade music within the Venezuelan National Boliviarian Curriculum remains elusive. However, general resources suggest that music education at the primary level in Venezuela aims to develop students' appreciation for music, introduce them to basic musical concepts like rhythm, melody, and harmony, and expose them to various musical genres, including Venezuelan folk music. Students may learn to play instruments, sing, and engage in musical activities that develop their creativity and expression. Some resources indicate that the curriculum may also cover the identification of sounds, understanding of musical time and space, and the use of music for personal and social development.
