Formation of creative activity of students in the system of studying subjects of musical cycle

Abstract

This article presents the actual problem - the peculiarities of education of creative individuals within the framework of music and dance activities. The interest of ancient philosophers to the influence of art on the comprehensive education of the human soul was traced, in particular, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Plato. The author cited pedagogical concepts of such famous researchers as J.A. Comenius, E. Gordon, D. Elliot and others. Several approaches to the understanding of creativity adopted in modern literature are described: on the one hand, they study the mechanisms of creative acts in everyday culture, and on the other, they study the figures of outstanding creators.
