ROLE OF MUSICAL-ESTHETIC ACTIVITY IN DEVELOPING THE CULTURE OF LEISURE AMONG THE YOUTH

Abstract

During the young age, the leisure capital (skills, tastes, interests) is formed, which serves as a foundation for choosing leisure activities throughout life. Given that music is present in all spheres of human life and has important functions (hedonistic, recreational, educational, etc.), it is necessary to maintain the relevance of elite classical music while working with young people, since currently there is a problem of distinguishing products of high musical culture from those of mass culture. One of the ways to solve this problem is to involve young people in musical and aesthetic activities, which are best implemented during leisure time in a museum space. Thus, the work objective is to find effective solutions to involve young people into the world of high (elite) art. Involvement into the world of active creative practices based on the samples of high art is due to the formation of a modern cultural young person who, regardless of the chosen profession, possesses creative abilities as a bonus for further implementation of labor activity, implying generation of new ideas, innovative approaches, and cooperation. As a result of the project practice – the technology that, due to its characteristics (integrative, step-by-step nature), contributes to the realization of creative abilities of a personality in the museum space, – a project is implemented, the feature of which is cooperation and co-creation between students non-musicians and young performing musicians.
