From this principle arises the impression of continuity, experience, traditions, as well as scientific achievements of the past. Approaches to the organization of the process of music education in higher education are based primarily on methodological principles. These principles complement the system-prognostic and socio-ecological; personal-activity, value (axiological) approaches as the basic methodological foundations of learning [4, pp. 3–5;. 6, pp. 67–72]. The main approaches and principles of higher music education are actively manifested in the need to modernize music education. The basic principles of music education are characterized by the following: systematicity; self- organization; socialization; fundamentalization and professionalization; pedagogy and psychologization of music education; cultural correspondence and humanization; humanization; individualization of higher musical education, dialogical interaction of teachers, students, masters; intellectual and creative development of the musician. Accordingly, modern pedagogical science identifies the main methods-approaches that are the theoretical basis for the implementation and provision of higher musical education. Art historical concepts necessarily take into account a systemic approach, which considers the training of specialists in the system of higher music education as a
