This paper explores the significant impact of music education on the holistic development of children, with an emphasis on its influence on affective, social, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. Early school-age music education activities, such as singing, musical games, movement to music, rhymes, and listening, not only enhance musical abilities but also support overall sensory, aesthetic, moral, physical, and intellectual development, particularly in the development of auditory skills crucial for speech. The paper also discusses the broader music education curriculum and briefly touches on the importance of reading to children, highlighting the interconnectedness of storytelling and music in educational settings. Methodological approaches used in teaching music education are mentioned. Furthermore, the use of musical stories as effective tools in music education is emphasized, with a focus on Sergei Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf." An analysis of the musical story within the Moodle elearning system is presented. Musical stories combine narration with music, fostering emotional engagement, creativity, and a deeper understanding of musical concepts by integrating elements such as rhythm, melody, and dynamics within the context of the story.
