The purpose with this study is to inquire how a number of active preschool teachers use music in their daily work with children. It also looks at the meaning they think music can have to the whole group of children, especially in terms of solidarity and interaction in the group. In order to study this I chose to use questionnaires as the method. These questionnaires consisted of open questions to enable longer answers from de participants in an effort to hear their thoughts and get their point of view. The result of this study shows that all of the participants seem to have good experiences from musical activities with the preschool children. They all state that they think music has a significant meaning for solidarity and interaction in the children´s group. Many of the participants also seem to connect music with other subjects, such as development of language, communication, movement and feelings. To understand the data gathered from the study I used the theory of developmental psychology and also the sociocultural perspective.
