Summary/Abstract: Music is extremely important in the life of every child. It exerts strong emotional impact on human exitence. Owing to music, imagination, sense of beauty and harmony, happiness and sadness are being developed. With its help our skills are expanded and we can learn, think, create, cure and rest more effectively. In the article, the author interprets the concept of imagination, its types and most popular theories, as well as the characteristics of children’s imagination and the role of a music teacher in its development. Music is of particular significance to the process of growing up. A child experiences it fully, spontaneously enriching his/her world, developing his/her imagination, feelings and judgements. Hence, music not only “has charms to soothe the savage breast” but it is also a “motor” for imagination and feelings understood and experienced by a child.
