The methods of systematization of scientific research, analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, classification of pedagogical tasks are used for research. The author proves the leading role of pedagogical tasks in the innovative and creative activity of the teacher, analyses their essential importance for the implementation of pedagogical innovations to provide for the productive education of students. A pedagogical task is defined as a meaningful pedagogical situation aimed at transforming reality, as a means of student activity to achieve certain educational goals. The scientific position is substantiated: the solution to the pedagogical problem is ensured by the dialectical processes of pedagogical thinking being in a complex interaction of its theoretical and practical types. Basing on generalisation of scientific material, the article formulates the requirements for the construction of musical and creative tasks for elementary school students: taking into account the psycho-physiological features of the development of learners; optimality of the ratio between complexity and accessibility of musical material; originality of the form used for material representation; informativeness of the artistic content of the task. The author formulates the principles of organizing the heuristic activity of students-musicians based on the problem-based approach: integrity, informativeness, technological capability, problematicity, integrability, variability. Their importance is determined in the context of professional training of students in practical musical and creative work with a schoolchildren team. Thus, the author proved the responsibility of the higher school for the personality formation of a professional teacher, capable of creativity, able to find new creative means, original and highly productive forms and methods of musical and creative interaction in the process of artistic activity while working with children.
