Music is the art of organizing sound to express emotions and is a crucial part of people's lives, as well as children's. Music is an art that organizes sound to express emotions and is deeply rooted in human life, including the world of children. The positive impact of music on the emotional body, reducing stress, depression, anxiety, and physical pain, is already well known. Children's participation in musical activities encourages the development of intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and physical abilities, making music education a key part of their basic education. Music is particularly important for children with special needs; therefore, music therapy is recommended as one of the types of therapy that will help these children in the development of communication skills and their social interaction with others, in building self-confidence, improving physical coordination and cognitive abilities, and in their expression of emotions, achieving inner peace and satisfaction, neutralizing negative feelings, and generally realizing their full potential in various aspects of life. Its ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life of children with various types of disabilities. In music therapy, an active and receptive approach can be used, as well as different methods within the selected approach, depending on the difficulties, needs, and preferences of the individual child. The research conducted among teachers who work with children with special needs aimed to point out the key aspects of the influence of music therapy on the development of these students. Through interviews, 15 experienced teachers shared their experiences and perspectives. The results of this research emphasize the importance of music education in the development of children with special needs. Also, challenges of cooperation with experts and parents and adaptation to individual needs were highlighted as the biggest challenges. These findings potentially indicate the need for further education of teachers and the strengthening of cooperation between relevant stakeholders in order to ensure the successful integration of children with special needs in the educational process.
