This article investigates generalist kindergarten teachers’ academic music training based on data collected from students undertaking an undergraduate degree in preschool (kindergarten) education (students aged 4–6 years) in Greece. The study was carried out through a ques- tionnaire survey that addressed students’ aspirations when entering the university and the real learning outcomes by the end of their studies

This article seeks to ?nd relationships between students’ academic experiences and their level of con?dence and enthusiasm to teach music in kindergarten. The ?ndings suggest that higher education provides students with most of the learning outcomes that they anticipate.

Finally, the author explores some implications for higher education policy and teaching practice. (This article only a summary, to get the full text please contact admin web, use the contact form)
