General Goals

In preschool education institutions, child, parents and teachers are a part of the society and culture, and have mutual influence on one another thus creating the culture of the educational institution. Music enriches and refines life in a preschool education institution, which is a part of its cultural identity. Music activities contribute to creating an invaluable environment in a kindergarten, and have positive influence on the development of a child. This paper provides evidence from practice, and it is focused on the segment of music education related to teachers' music teaching competences and to the way in which the teachers realize music education in order to raise the level of culture in the kindergarten. Analysis of teaching journals showed a lack of basic determinants in the curriculum for early childhood and preschool education. Accordingly, there is an important problem in understanding and interpreting the general goals and principles of artistic expression in education (including music education). By eliminating the shortcomings the teachers could improve their professional skills and competences for music teaching, raise the importance of music education for a comprehensive development of children, and ultimately contribute to better quality of the cultural identity of a preschool education institution.
