Abstract

This article discusses the methodological foundations that play a key role in research in the field of music education. One of the most important methodological guidelines is methodological analysis, which is considered a meta-method in the context of music pedagogy. This analysis represents a comprehensive approach to the research process, allowing for the comprehension of various aspects and processes of music pedagogy theory and practice. Methodological guidelines also highlight professionally significant functions and approaches that contribute to an understanding of the value of music education concepts, innovative processes in science and education, and the formation of research strategies. The approaches considered include various intellectual operations, among which reflection stands out as a method of creative thinking and personal rethinking of values and motives in the activity of a teacher-musician. The reasons for the disproportion in the interaction of philosophical, general scientific, specific scientific, and technological levels in music-pedagogical knowledge at the present stage of its development are identified. The role of ideals and pedagogical values in choosing a strategy for the development and improvement of music-pedagogical practice is noted. This is due to the understanding of music education pedagogy at the methodological level, which makes it possible to overcome the imbalance in the interaction between philosophical, general scientific, specific scientific, and technological levels of knowledge in music education theory and practice at the present stage of development, as well as actualizes the development of educational models, directing research activity toward issues related primarily to the search for the foundations for the development of music education content. The basis for the development of methodological guidelines in this context is knowledge from various fields of human activity, including science and art. Fundamental theoretical knowledge serves as the conceptual foundation and methodological basis of music pedagogy, which allows for the clear determination of the principles and tools of scientific research.
