Abstract
Arts are integrated into education either as autonomous subjects or for the teaching of other school disciplines in an interdisciplinary and cross-curricular context. The integration of the arts in education has special value as students are allowed to be engaged aesthetically, emotionally, cognitively, and socially. Activities that connect music with other arts and school disciplines arouse pupils' interest, urge them to become more involved in the learning process, create and produce new products, collaborate with their classmates, socialize, and express themselves. In such a context, preschool and general primary teachers have more alternative and creative ways to organize their lessons through arts inclusion. This paper places emphasis on the integration of music in education through its connection with other arts and school disciplines in an interdisciplinary and cross-curricular context. It proposes connections and presents indicative activities for preschool and early primary education students, aiming at engaging them in aesthetic experiences through the activation of their critical thinking.
