Summary/Abstract: The contribution deals with the equal opportunity of education that shall be provided to the fullest potential of all children, including intellectually gifted children in Slovak ele- mentary schools. The authoresses believe that it is important to raise the potency of these children by focusing on their creative self-fulfilment and creating motivational conditions in educational process. They focus on musical activities as a tool that can encourage the development of intellectually gifted children by inducing pupils to express themselves in a creative way using musical activities in the main school subjects mathematics and Eng- lish language, with non-musical educational goals. Authoresses conclude their contribution by two examples of this possible pedagogical intervention.
