Abstract

This study aims to show teachers' perceptions about their training and competences in the field of music, as well as their self-confidence to use this tool in Early Childhood Education. From a qualitative approach, the methodology used is based on an exhaustive documentary study and semi-structured interviews carried out with the participating teachers. From the information collected, similar results are obtained from both sources, such as limited teachers’ training, as well as a lack of teachers’ self-confidence in musical skills. In conclusion, it is inferred that the factor perceived by teachers as the main obstacle to musical practice is insufficient and/or inadequate training, both initial and continuous. At the same time, this limited training causes uncertainty and lack of security in teachers when they must implement musical activities into practice.
