Abstract	The aim of the present study was to investigate the extramusical effects of a music education program in one preschool classroom over a period of six weeks. The class had not previously been exposed to regular music lessons. Readily available teaching resources containing sound recordings were used. Analysis revealed six themes that addressed the extramusical effect of music lessons: (1) involvement in music activities allowed children to release energy; (2) engagement in music-movement activities developed motor skills in children; (3) a variety of music activities promoted opportunities for student socialisation; (4) music activities provided opportunities for children to express themselves; (5) music contributed to sociodramatic play; and (6) music listening activities focused children's listening skills. (As Provided).
