The objectives of this study included: (a) investigating the difference in implementation of music activities in relation to selected demographic variables; (b) investigating the correlation of competencies, instructional support, institutional support, and peer support with implementation of music activities; and (c) testing the model of novice preschool teachers' implementation of music activities.

All selected demographic variables did not have any significant difference in the overall implementation of music activities. However, there was a significant difference in singing activities. Novice teachers who were trained with a minor music option had a higher implementation than those without a minor music option. There was a significant and moderately positive relationship of teachers' implementation of music activities with teachers' competencies, instructional support, institutional support, and peer support. Based on SEM analysis, the model of novice preschool teachers' implementation of music activities fit to the data.
