Program for the Development of Musical Culture of Students of Secondary School Age in the Folk Instrument Class

The development of the musical culture of the individual remains one of the most important actual problems at the modern stage of the development of pedagogy. Ways to develop the musical culture of modern schoolchildren engaged in institutions of additional education in the class of folk instruments were identified in the course of work, based on the analysis of scientific research in the field of musical culture. However, in scientific and pedagogical literature, insufficient attention is paid to the program for the development of musical culture, which would include all carefully considered components of the educational process and thereby ensure the effectiveness of this process. The article presents a similar program, developed and tested during experimental and practical pedagogical activities in the class of folk instruments. The work also presents indicators and criteria for assessing the formation of musical culture among students of secondary school age in the class of folk instruments.
