    This study explores the artistic-musical self-concept of prospective teachers enrolled in the Primary Education degree program at two Spanish universities. Employing a quantitative research design through the administration of a questionnaire (n = 278), the study investigates participants’ perceived competence across several dimensions of musical, dance, and dramatic expression, including performance, improvisation, composition, performativity, and the management of creative processes. Non-parametric statistical tests (Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis) were applied to identify significant differences based on gender and prior educational background. The findings indicate a more robust self-concept in organizational and evaluative tasks, contrasted with lower perceived competence in creative and expressive activities, particularly those associated with musical notation and composition. Statistically significant differences emerged in relation to gender and artistic background, underscoring the fragmented nature of self-concept shaped by prior experiences and sociocultural factors. The study advocates for the reinforcement of arts education as a core element within teacher training curricula, to promote a more inclusive, transformative, and normativelyaligned approach to music education.
