The Role of Autodidactic Processes in the Artistic and Creative Self-Development of Students-Musicians

Abstract

The Central task of modern professional education is the formation of students’ readiness for self-education, self-development. Autodidactic processes are of direct relevance to the solution of this problem, which, acting as the basis for independent educational and cognitive activity, help students overcome the difficulties of self-development, contribute to the activation of creative potential (“self” processes), and allow them to become the subject of their own development. The article reveals the nature of musical art, which opens up opportunities for the development of semantic aspects of reality from the standpoint of creativity and continuous self-development; highlights the structure of artistic and creative self-development, which includes three levels – professional and value self-determination; artistic and creative self-perfection; artistic and creative self-actualization; the basic strategy of artistic and creative self-development of students-musicians, which is a harmonious combination of adaptive (conformal) and non-adaptive (creative) types of activity with a gradual predominance of creative activity. Special attention is paid to the components of artistic and creative self-development, which, representing the facets of one process, complement and enrich each other
