In education, students can be provided with a particular discipline and behaviour. Emphasis is placed on shaping the individuals in the preschool education period and their mental and emotional development. Music has an impact on many areas, especially children's psycho-motor development, language development, emotional development, and social development. Therefore, they significantly contribute to children in the education process they start before primary school. For this reason, the research aims to draw attention to the importance of using music activities in preschool. In this study, which was carried out with the method of phenomenology, the views of 19 preschool teachers from various provinces on music activities were analyzed. In the semi-structured interview form prepared in line with expert opinions, there are opinions about music activities and information about teachers' self-efficacy perceptions about their music education. Two researchers coded the qualitative data from the teachers separately and analyzed them with themes. Consensus reliability analysis was used in the research. As a result of the study, it was concluded that preschool teachers found music activities beneficial. Despite this, preschool teachers said their music education proficiency should be better. Consequently, more emphasis should be placed on music education in preschool education.
