The focus in this study are students’ experiences and opinions on interdisciplinary and subject integrated education with music. The collected material consists of a questionnaire to students in grade nine at two elementary schools in Sweden. The perspectives in the study are based upon Dewey and pragmatism, as well as Vygotskij’s thoughts on creative activities, imagination and creativity in school and have been interpreted through the methodology of hermeneutics. The study reveals that the students have different experiences and perceptions of interdisciplinary and subject integrated education. Some subjects are more occurring than others when it comes to collaboration and integration with music in different ways. Students also have different views if it could help them and as well as affect their learning if subjects collaborate and connects to each other in different ways. Whether they are positive or negative to this, there are several students that emphasize that the education and learning becomes more fun and creative.
