The purpose of this research is to clarify how children's expressions through sounds develops in their preschool play. This research is based on a one-year observation of a preschool class for 4-year-olds. It was found that expression through sounds arising from interaction with the environment developed into cultural musical expression by producing sounds through trial-and-error by imitating a pop singer's concert in make-believe play. It is very important for this development that teachers' daily supports helps children's attention to sounds.
