Aim. The purpose of this work is to explore the phenomenon of intergenerational transmission of musical culture from the perspective of future early childhood educators and educationally active seniors. The study explores how musical traditions are sustained and how they can be enriched through contemporary pedagogical practice. Methods and materials. A mixed-methods strategy was applied, following a sequential exploratory design. The qualitative phase involved individual interviews and participant observations, focusing on the mechanisms and values of musical culture transmission. The quantitative phase consisted of a survey based on a 5-point Likert scale. The sample consisted of early childhood education students and students from universities of the third age. To increase the reliability of the results, triangulation of data and methods was used. Results and conclusion. The analysis revealed that seniors highlighted the importance of tradition and community in transmitting of musical culture. Future teachers, in turn, emphasized its educational potential and the opportunities to enhance the teaching and learning process through digital technologies. The study also identified mechanisms that support this transmission. The transmission of musical culture should be grounded in shared practices and intergenerational dialogue. Its effectiveness relies on integrating tradition with modern educational tools, as well as on the critical and creative use of media resources. The implementation of these findings into educational programs is essential.
