Good cooperation between parents and kindergarten teachers is an essential prerequisite for the quality of the overall educational process. Mutual respect, trust, and communication are the characteristics of the cooperation that has a positive impact on the overall development of an individual. The benefits of partnership are well-known. Kindergarten teachers are often the ones who initiate cooperation because they possess the appropriate knowledge required for it. However, attitudes and communication skills are an integral part of the educational competence for cooperation with parents. The responsibility for the well-being of the child lies with both the educator and the parents, who work together taking into consideration the child's abilities and interests. During children's music education, the benefits of music and its impact on the overall development of the child come to the foreground. Children are exposed to music in their environment from an early age, and it is proven that they are born with some musical inclinations. The development of musical abilities is influenced by the child's environment, which includes their family and preschool institution. To understand the overall musical context within families, the research aims to investigate parents' musical experience and their views on how much it contributes to the child's musical activity. Furthermore, the aim of the study is to investigate parents' attitudes regarding the joint musical activities by parents and children, their frequency, as well as parents' views on their child's musical activities in the kindergarten. The information was collected by a questionnaire about the musical habits and characteristics of the musical environment of preschool children and their parents. The results have shown that dancing, singing and listening to music are the most common musical activities that children enjoy either on their own or together with their parents. The musical environment is rich in musical stimuli (e.g. musical devices, instruments, toys). Parents recognize and emphasize the benefits of music for their child's development and show great interest in getting their children involved in extracurricular musical activities. In conclusion, the research has shown that the child's environment and their own involvement are crucial for the development of musical abilities. Furthermore, the value of joint musical activities by children and parents has been emphasized. Although there might exist the connection between the family environment and the child's musical inclination, it has not been confirmed yet and therefore needs some further research.
