FORMATION OF CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION SKILLS IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN BY MEANS OF CHINESE CHILDREN’S MUSIC

Abstract

The article presents a theoretical justification of the process of formation of creative self-expression skills in preschool children by means of Chinese children’s music, considered as a specially organized, purposeful process of acquiring experience in musical and creative activity by familiarizing children with various cultural codes of Chinese children’s music. The article interprets the basic concept of the study – “creative self-expression”, considered as personal self-expression and self-realization in the process of any activity. The study identifies the essential characteristics of artistic and aesthetic activities within the educational process of preschool educational organizations. The main genre groups of Chinese children’s songs are considered, such as lyrical songs, joke songs, labor, festive and narrative songs. Algorithms for the use of Chinese children’s music for the formation of creative self-expressive skills in children are proposed – plastic comprehension and embodiment of the content of the song with the help of movements, as well as accompanying songs with collective performative actions, composing lyrics and constructing different singing styles.
