Generalization of scientific research of domestic and foreign scientists, analysis of modern research and delineation of musical competence in the State Standard as the ability to understand and creative self-expression in the field of music through music, allowed us to formulate a definition of “musical competence of future primary school teachers”. The key characteristics of the musical competence of the future primary school teacher are outlined.
