This present study is a qualitative observative study. The aim with the study was to iden-tify the potential or possibility applying musical activities in preschool through a music didactic perspective. The collection of the empirical research took place at the time for the meal in the preschool. The most important observations were the meetings between children and background music. The main thesis of this study was that background music at preschool’s pedagogic meals can contribute to make teachers notice what, when and where musical education could be applied for either a prepared or spontaneous educa-tional situation. To test the thesis, the meeting between children in preschool and back-ground music through a musical didactic perspective was observed. The main concepts used in the study were as follows: didactic, musical didactic, pedagogic meals and back-ground music. The observations showed that in the meeting of background music not only did the children interact with each other, but also shows interaction with the music as well. The children showed interaction by moving their bodies, both in the same rhythm and not in the same rhythm as the background music. There was an example of a child who moved along with the music and then paused to eat the food. To conclude adding background music to the pedagogic meals within the preschool environment could help preschool teachers exploring the possibilities combining pedagogic meals together with pedagogic musical activities. Hopefully, this study could start discussions about children, background music and esthetic education.
