Musical activities play an extremely important role in the overall development of children. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine parents' views on the importance of a musically stimulating environment for complete development of preschool children, according to gender, level of education, additional musical eduaction, knowledge of musical notation and children's attendance at the music kindergarten programmes. Examination was conducted through a survey on a sample of 130 participants, parents of preschool children from Split-Dalmatin county. A questionnaire was constructed for the purposes of the research, and it consists of two parts: General data questionnaire and Parents' views on the importance of a musically stimulating environment for overall development of preschool children. The results of the research confirmed that gender and the level of education are not significant predictors of parental attitudes towards the importance of a musically stimulating environment for the complete development of preschool children. Additional musical education of parents is a significant predictor of positive attitudes refering to conducting musical activities at home and towards music in general, while knowledge of notation is a significant predictor for parents' overall attitudes about importance of musically stimulating environments for preschool children. The results of a research confirmed that parents whose children attend the music kindergarten program, comparing to parents whose children are not involved in such activities, have more positive attitudes towards the importance of a musically stimulating environment for positive development of preschool children. Obtained results indicate the importance of music stimulations within preschool programs in kindergartens and as a result they recieve a higher educational involvement of children in such programs.
