The development of musical memory necessarily leads to an improvement in general memorization skills and an improvement in general memory Extracurricular activities using a new direction in art such as sand animation make a significant contribution to the holistic development of elementary school students, developing their creative abilities, musical abilities and critical thinking. Given the limited attention given to music lessons in the school curriculum, extracurricular activities provide students with opportunities to expand their musical knowledge and skills, and explore artistic expression. Using sand animation not only promotes emotional and cognitive development, but also strengthens memory skills that are essential for academic success and lifelong learning. The use of such innovative approaches based on art meets modern educational standards and promotes the comprehensive individual growth of students. The purpose is to consider the significance and content of specific methods of developing musical memory in the process of developing musical and creative abilities in teaching sand animation to younger schoolchildren in extracurricular activities. The research is based on an analysis of the existing scientific literature, the use of general scientific methods of research, observation, systematization of information and the process of obtaining general conclusions. In the course of the work, it was found that research and practical experience make it possible to identify specific methods of developing musical memory using sand animation in younger schoolchildren in extracurricular activities: modeling the artistic and creative process of illustrating a musical or vocal-instrumental work; illustrating a musical or vocal-instrumental work; staging songs; thematic classes on sand animation; displaying melodies with by drawing with sand. During these classes, children improve their musical memory, mastering artistic expression and technical skills. The integration of sand animation with music education improves memory, musical creativity, and sensory perception in younger students. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the considered methods are effective for developing musical memory and, as a result, improving general memory and musical and creative abilities in primary school students using sand animation, and combine auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning, increasing engagement and activating motivation to the learning needs of primary school students. students. Their practical application opens up great prospects for enriching extracurricular activities in secondary schools, encouraging artistic expression and supporting cognitive development. This research has practical value for teachers in the field of art and music, especially for those who teach children sand animation. The specific methods considered significantly contribute to the development of both musical and general memory in children, which is important for their comprehensive development and learning. Since music and visual arts, which include sand animation, are inherently fascinating and practical, their integration into the learning process improves memory skills and stimulates the child's desire to learn, which ultimately contributes to his academic and artistic growth.
