РОЗВИТОК МУЗИКАЛЬНОСТІ ОСОБИСТОСТІ ЯК ПРОБЛЕМА НАУКОВО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНОГО ЗНАННЯ

The article deals with the phenomenon of musicality in the psychological, pedagogical, aesthetic and musicological dimensions.Three main theoretical principles were chosen for consideration: 1) comparison of the essence of musicality with the concept of special musical abilities; it allows to define mechanisms of interrelation of the phenomena that is necessary for diagnosing specificity of talent of the young person towards musical creativity; 2) functioning of musicality in the context of various types of musical activities, especially musical perception and performance; the author relies on the idea of psychology on the conditionality of personality development by specific activities and motivation for it and focuses on the manifestation of musicality during the decoding of the meanings of the musical text and stage performance as the embodiment of the idea; positioning of musicality as an instrument of musical thinking and formation of the person’s musical and aesthetic consciousness, which corresponds to the nature of music as art of intoned meaning that unfolds over time.The author’s interpretation of musicality as a syncretic personal phenomenon is proposed, which is integral to the complex of musical abilities, the specificity of which is determined by the procedural nature of music, and the target of which is the musical culture of the individual and the ability to influence the culture. It is proved that the integrator is the person’s ability to emotionally experience the means of musical expression and decode the meanings of the musical work during the creation of the individual interpretation. The content of structural components (constructs) of musicality such as emotional-motivational, operational-activity, artistic-communicative, cognitive-reflexive is defined and described.The novelty of the article is the theoretical projection of the essence of musicality on diagnosing the students’ musical talent and building learning strategies, which requires the development in future of pedagogical mechanisms (methods, technologies) of the students’ complex musical development.
