This article deals with the issues that arise in the implementation of musical activities in Pre-school Education. For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to Early Childhood professionals in order to find out their opinion about their practice in this field. In parallel, we proceeded to the survey and analysis of 50 reports of final works of the Master's Degree of Qualification for Teaching defended between 2000 and 2020, whose subject focused on music in Pre-School, with the aim of knowing the opinion of their authors on the same topic from their supervised teaching practice. This study highlighted some contradictions between the observations verified by the trainees in their internship and the observations made by the professionals in their answers to the questionnaire.
