CREATIVITY OF ARCTIC TUNESMITHS IN THE FORMATION OF MUSICAL ABILITIES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

The article deals with a problem of forming musical abilities of children of primary school age. The authors state that the development of musical abilities of students will be fruitful and effective, if the educational process uses the creative work of local poets and melodists. The article is an experimental work that includes the problems of forming musical abilities. The authors determined that the theme of the native Kolyma, the nature of the region, love and beauty, which is close to children’s perception and development, would have a special influence in solving key problems, such as the development of the fret sense, musical-auditory representation and the sense of rhythm in the musical development of younger schoolchildren. In addition to the positive impact on the formation of musical abilities, works of local authors foster patriotic feelings of students, which also have an important role in upbringing of a citizen.
