Music can have a significant impact on children's motivation to perform motor tasks. Numerous studies indicate that music stimulates positive responses in the brain, increases energy, and can serve as a motivational tool. The study focuses on examining whether music can be used as a means to motivate children and thereby improve the results of motor tasks. We investigated whether the tempo of music influences the test of plate-tapping speed, which students perform as part of the physical education card at school. The study involved 51 female students aged 11 and 12. The test was conducted while listening to music at a slow tempo (100 beats/min) and while listening to music at a fast tempo (190 beats/min). As expected, the students were faster at the fast tempo and, thus, had better results compared to the test performed at the slow tempo. We further explored whether students who are dancers or musicians would have better results compared to other students. However, this assumption proved to be untrue. No differences were found between the results of students engaged in dance or music and those not engaged in dance or music.
