Bearing on the imprint of an era in which it is born and, to a certain extent, being its reflection, reflecting not only the social development of society, but also experiencing the impact of scientific and technological progress, music is the bearer of the socio-historical experience of previous generations. 3. Learning music is precisely the "substantive activity", which includes those internal contradictions of human; music is the source of the formation of specific human abilities. 4. Music art is able to influence general creativity of human through logical and subconscious processes of brain activity and to act as a symbolic associative material for the formation of new mental models of perception of the world. Giving examples of the statement of the problem of great violations of equilibrium and most difficult reduction of them to a harmonious solution, makes music a means of disclosing creative abilities of an individual. Significance.
