Abstract
Numerous scientific researchers have been pointing to the connection between certain music activities and development of the non-musical competencies. Learning to play a musical instrument contributes to the development of the multiple intelligences elements. The aim of this work is to determine whether there is a connection between the learning process and the activity of playing a musical instrument in elementary school and the selection of secondary school type and occupation. In this research the following questions were considered: whether playing a musical instrument during elementary school age is connected with the process of choosing secondary school and occupation, with the overall success of the respondents in elementary and secondary school, success in Mathematics, the level of future education and knowledge of foreign languages. A total of 283 respondents of various age groups participated in this research, and they were divided into two categories: respondents who were playing a musical instrument during elementary school age and the respondents who were not.
