Summary/Abstract: Aim. The main aim of this research was a comparative analysis of the results obtained by children in the Short Test of Musical Abilities with the parents’ survey declarations regarding their attitudes towards music. Methods and materials. 50 6-year-old children and 50 parents of these children participated in the research. The research was conducted in 2015 in a kindergarten in Krakow. In the research, the Diagnostic Survey method was used. The Survey technique and the Short Test of Musical Abilities was used in the research. Quantitative and statistical analysis were used among the methods of analyzing the collected research material. Results and conclusion. The activities declared by parents differentiate the levels of the children’s musical abilities. The research confirmed significant differences between the levels of children’s musical abilities in performing melodies and preference for listening to music as the musical activity most often chosen by parents, as well as with the parents’ musical education. The use of a computer as music playback equipment is also important for the level of musical ability in terms of performing a melody. What is alarming is the fact that most parents do not undertake activities related to creating music (94% of respondents). Research shows, among others: the importance of actions taken by parents for children’s musical abilities and also encourage parents and teachers to act effectively in the context of new technologies.
