Summary/Abstract: Education of children at 7–11 age is characterized as multifaceted. It covers both the intellectual development of the individual and the sphere of their personality, as well. The article discusses the subject of music education as a field that supports overall human development, shapes their sensitivity, stimulates the development of social competences, and prepares for active participation in culture. The objects of consideration were the aims of music education. Their detailed analysis allows to determine the importance of this marginalized field in the educational process. The text presents not only the benefits of stimulating the musical development of children but also the risks posed by omitting it in school situations. The specificity of didactic activities related to the musical activity of children at the first level of education is also presented.
