The quantity and quality of musical activities at home can have an impact on the development of social, cognitive and physical competences of young children. MoviMusi Project (PID2022-141095NB-I00) aims to know, on the one hand, the type of musicalized motor practices used in the first cycle of Early Childhood Education, as well as, on the other hand, the training needs of teachers to be able to deal with musicalized motor practices; in addition, this project aims to train teachers so that music becomes another tool for gross and fine motor development for students in the first cycle of Early Childhood. The main aim is to describe parents' perceptions of the presence of music at home, its beneficial effects and their role in promoting the musical process in young children. In Murcia and Toledo (Spain), 108 parents completed a questionnaire on the presence and beneficial effects of music at home for their young children (20 months). The current results allow us to conclude that the different musical processes are used in a generic way in the Infant classrooms and by families, and that the impact on the different areas of development that their use can have in a more reflexive and rigorous way is unknown. Given these preliminary results, the project prepared specific training for teachers and families so that they could understand each musical process as an ally of considerable impact on the various areas of development that are worked on in the infant classrooms. Furthermore, the need to implement musical motor practices, both fine and gross, as a form of self-knowledge and exploration of the body by pupils in the maturation process was demonstrated, together with the need to promote musical practices from a conscious knowledge of the cognitive impact that each of them can have on the pupils.
