The role of music therapy in the structure of modern health-protecting educational technologies

Abstract

The article reveals the structure of modern health-preserving educational technologies and the role of musical art in them. Based on the classification of functional features of health-preserving technologies, the functions of musical art are considered. The possibilities of introducing health-preserving technologies into musical activity are substantiated. The author pays special attention to the compensatory and background-therapeutic functions of musical art (music therapy). It is analyzed and proven that musical art is an integral part of health-preserving educational technologies, since its principles, forms, methods and content are organically combined with the concept of health-preserving, contribute to the creation of a health-preserving environment in musical activity, and ensure the harmonious development of the personality. Addressing the concept of “pedagogical music therapy” and analyzing its content allow us to find new approaches to the implementation of health-preserving technologies in musical education.

Key words: musical art; educational technologies; health-preserving educational technologies; pedagogical music therapy; music therapy.
