Abstract

The article is devoted to considering the problems of modern higher musical education in the context of its enrichment by such important areas of the history of musical art as ethnomusicology and musical medieval studies. The author examines the leading principles of implementation of the indicated directions in the modern university environment.
Research methodology. Leading research methods are: analytical, descriptive, practical, author's practical activity.
At the bachelor's and master's levels of higher education, depending on the level of musical training of the applicants, the inclusion of certain elements of ethnomusicology and musical medieval studies is possible in such disciplines as music theory (for example, consideration of the features of the unwieldy notation of the Middle Ages), music history, polyphony and harmony (folk-subvocal and other forms of folk polyphonic thinking, the polyphony of the famous tradition). Also, for groups of musicologists and choirmasters, as well as for groups of masters and postgraduate students, it is possible to familiarize applicants with such more complex subjects as musical paleography, deciphering the clumsy notation of various traditions, deciphering and processing samples of the folk song tradition, getting to know the Old Believer regional tradition (a bright phenomenon in Odesa and other regions of Ukraine).
