This article aimed to identify students with musical talent indicators from a basic education network in a city in the inland of São Paulo, for this purpose the Protocol for Screening of Musical Skills (PSHM) was used. The research was exploratory and involved 653 students (352 girls and 301 boys) from elementary school (initial years) from public and private schools. The results indicated that 16% (n = 104) of the participants initially presented musical talent indicators, however, 11 (3 girls and 8 boys) (1.68%) participants stood out among the 104. It is concluded that the PSHM instrument was effective in identifying musical talent, being a mean for the recognition of students, and for receiving the specialized educational assistance to which they are entitled, according to Brazilian law. The PSHM is under construction, so the stages of validation and reliability will still be necessary. It should be noted that, for this reason, it is not yet available for general use.
