The theoretical section of this Bachelor’s thesis provides an overview of the Kindergarten
Curriculum and its incorporation of daily routine activities. Additionally, it explores music as
an art form within the kindergarten curriculum. The next chapter discusses musical activities
and the musical development of children. Finally, the thesis examines the impact of music on
child development and the influence of music on the daily kindergarten routine. In the empirical
section, the thesis investigates the effects of including musical stimuli in daily routine activities
on children's emotional responses and their engagement in these activities. The research
involved 14 children aged 1 to 2.
The findings of the study revealed a positive influence of musical stimuli on children's
emotional responses. When musical stimuli were included, the children exhibited increased
interest, cooperation, and joy while participating in daily routine activities. Furthermore, the
research demonstrated that music affected the children's level of activity and their inclination
to engage in daily routine activities. Based on the results of this thesis, it can be concluded that
incorporating musical stimuli into daily routine activities during the first age period of
kindergarten positively impacts the children's emotional response and engagement in daily
routines.
