The importance of music in the educational process of preschool age and its influence on personality development of young people is a common subject in pedagogy and development psychology.

In this paper we want to emphasize the importance of education of students, the future teachers, as a decisive factor in better perception of musical art that will tomorrow be transmitted to new generations.

Exposure to electronic media and omnipresent sound's coulisse have a negative impact on children' musical experience and creativity.

The practice of getting ready-made information through electronic games has been in contrast with the musical thinking that takes time, concentration and intuition.

The songs that are beyond the scope of a child's voice are ultimately harmful for their hearing, vocal cords and do not encourage the development of voice features.

Additional elective courses and organized regular concert's attendance has the purpose to increase student's sensitivity to the quality of artistic musical expression that will be later transferred to the children and bring them a broader insight into the beauty of music-making.

Key words: musical experience, creativity, electronic media, concerts, students
