and bandura performance in particular, self-realization through a vocation to teaching activities, personal and collective reflection of musical existence in the socio-cultural spaces). The specifics, prerequisites and regularities of the
formation of Larisa Panova's performance role are traced, which is based on musical expressiveness as a result of technical perfection of artistic and sound creation, experimentation and careful selection of «her» repertoire. The focus
of her first performing and later teaching activities on the formation of the bandurist's musical thinking as the ability to spiritually and practically master cultural reality and the unique experience of one's own interpretation of the composer's
idea is proven. The specifics of the interaction between teacher Larisa Panova and modern composers have been revealed, as a result of which expressive means are rethought, new performance techniques transpire and experimental
timbre-sound perspectives emerge. It has been found that Larisa Panova has a powerful potential as a methodologist, and her theoretical and methodological developments are relevant and progressive. It has been proven that Larisa
Panova's organizational and cultural educational activities contribute to the intensification of Kharkiv region bandura performance and its active popularization among creative youth, which has nationwide educational significance.
