In modern conditions of rapidly developing industry the role of aesthetic and musical education of children is highlighted. Today’s family is experiencing a serious crisis – a decline in attention to spiritual values. The younger generation allocates more material values, than spiritual, in this regard at children ideas of kindness, mercy, tolerance, civic consciousness, patriotism are distorted. Musical culture opens the world of beauty and harmony, introduces the child to the world of culture and universal values, allows to overcome the gap of cultural traditions of generations, forms a creative personality. Not only trained teachers, but also parents play an important role in the process of formation of musical and pedagogical culture. The family is the primary institution of human socialization, that is, it is the main link between social norms and the process of personal development. Proper educational and aesthetic activity of parents depends on the level of their theoretical knowledge and pedagogical skills and abilities, the level of which in turn largely depends on the musical and pedagogical culture of parents, especially on the nature of their activities as educators. In addition to self-education, an important means of improving the musical and pedagogical culture of parents is the educational role of institutions of additional education.
