It is well known that music has a positive impact on the overall development of youngand preschool children. To achieve the potential benefits of music for children, it is necessaryfor the educator to be well-educated, to follow current documents that set guidelines for theirwork, and to be personally motivated for lifelong learning, including in the field of music. This research was conducted to examine the competencies and attitudes of educatorsin performing music activities in kindergartens in the areas of Međimurska, Varaždinska, andKrapinsko-Zagorska County. 103 responses were collected in an online survey conductedinApril 2024. In the study, four hypotheses were set. The first hypothesis states: educators withmore work experience evaluate their own competencies and attitudes towards conductingmusical activities in kindergartens significantly more positively than those with less workexperience. The second hypothesis states: educators with a higher level of educationevaluatetheir own competencies and attitudes about conducting musical activities in kindergartensignificantly more positively than those with a lower level of education. The third hypothesisstates: educators who are actively involved or have been involved in music evaluate their owncompetencies and attitudes towards conducting musical activities in kindergartenssignificantly more positively than those who are not actively involved in music. The fourthhypothesis states: educators with additional music education evaluate their own competenciesand attitudes towards conducting musical activities in kindergartens significantlymorepositively than those without additional music education. The first and second hypotheses showed that there is no statistically significant correlation between work experience or the level of education of educators and their self-assessment of attitudes and competencies in conducting musical activities in kindergartens. However, the hypotheses regarding engagement in musical activities during free time andthecompletion of music education showed a statistically significant correlation withmorepositive attitudes and competencies in conducting musical activities in kindergartens. It isconcluded that educators, after their formal education, should continue to practice andrefinethe knowledge they have acquired to become more confident in conducting musical activitiesin kindergartens.
