Music surrounds us and it`s all around us. It has a positive effect on the development of physical and mental abilities. Musical experiences begin with listening at an early age. If we look at children and their reaction to music, we notice that children spontaneously sing, dance, play percussion instrument, play with music without the burden of whether they do it well or not. The educator should follow the team and offer the children new content. Children should sing and dance only for their soul, and they should not be allowed to encounter a way of thinking that hinders adults who explain it with the words: I can't sing / dance because I don't know! It is important to choose stimuli carefully. The educator should first identify the child's interest in a particular activity. The educator's role is to offer different situations in which the child will develop his creativity, because he easily memorises what interests him. The spontaneous interest of the child is his greatest stimulus and the task of the educator is to provide the child with indirect help for self-education. In this paper, special emphasis is placed on musical instruments for preschool children and the importance of music for the overall development, while the second part presents an example of quality practice in kindergarten.
