Abstract

A retrospective analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature and practical experience in the field of education allows us to state the fact that music development, musical lessons and aesthetic activity have a great positive effect on the development of the personality of children with hearing impairments. At the same time, the insufficient development of the methodology and methods for the development of musical and creative abilities of visually impaired children in order to correct their physical and moral development gives the reason to consider this problem to be quite relevant and timely. Some aspects of solving this problem are disclosed in this article.

The purpose of this article of ours is to disclose the essence and content of the concept of “musical and creative abilities”; analysis of the psychophysiological characteristics of visually impaired children in the context of the development of their musical and creative abilities; characteristics of the content and forms of musical education of visually impaired children in order to develop creative abilities and the results of the experimental work of the authors in this direction.

Theoretical and empirical research methods were used to solve the stated tasks: analysis of the musical, pedagogical and psychological literature on the research problem; analysis of pupil performance; study, analysis and generalization of advanced pedagogical experience on the stated problem, pedagogical observation, questionnaire, survey, conversation.
