Summary/Abstract: The author presents children’s development in the context of the function of music. She underlines the supportive role of musical education in forming children’s cognitive, mental, emotional, social and physical functions. She presents a selection of experiments related to cognitive function, memory, concentration, spatial thinking, creativity as well as school subjects (mathematics, Polish language, foreign languages). Music, which is immanently associated with experiencing, is used for therapeutic and compensation purposes in speaking disorders. Motion is an inseparable element of musical activities of small children and is thus closely related to their physical development. Numerous research examples indicate the correlation between music and children’s development.
