Introduction:
Music has always been in the spotlight as
an expression of the human spirit, the highest form of
feelings and thoughts. Since ancient times, this unique
type of art has played an important role in educating
the human soul, giving aesthetic pleasure and
developing creative thinking. In today's era of
globalization, the role of musical education is
increasing, because music has a great influence not
only on cultural, but also on intellectual development.
The formation of students' musical thinking is at the
heart of this process. It includes not only understanding
notes or learning to play an instrument, but also
musical thinking, creativity and a deep understanding
of music. This gives students who can become not only
talented musicians, but also any profession, a creative
approach and a broad outlook.
It should not be forgotten that musical thinking is not
only about creating music, but also about seeing life
differently, understanding the deep essence of
phenomena and enriching them with beauty.
Therefore, the issue of forming creative musical
thinking in the process of music education is not only
relevant, but also an extremely necessary task.
This
article
highlights
innovative
pedagogical
approaches, practical methods and effective tools in
the formation of students' musical thinking. The main
goal of this work is to prove that music is not only an
art, but also a means of education, which is of particular
importance for every person.
METHODOLOGY
The formation of creative musical thinking is a complex
and interrelated process, the success of which depends
on the teacher's approach, the methods and tools used.
This process involves the development of students'
musical knowledge and skills, as well as supporting
their creativity. Therefore, when choosing a
methodology, it is necessary not to be limited to
traditional methods, but to use modern pedagogical
technologies.
In this process, game methods, problem-based
learning, collaborative learning, and the use of
multimedia tools are of great importance. For example,
to develop students' musical thinking, it can be
effective to provide them with the opportunity to
independently solve certain musical problems, teach
them to critically analyze musical works, and ensure
their active participation in various creative projects.
Such an approach forms students not only as passive
learners, but also as active participants in the creative
process.

Also, the use of the rich cultural heritage of national
and world music is an integral part of the methodology.
By involving students in analyzing musical works of
different peoples, teaching them to play national music
samples, their musical worldview expands and their
creative thinking develops. In particular, familiarization
with folk instruments and their history creates
enormous opportunities for understanding the place of
music in human life and society.
Innovative technologies, in particular, digital platforms,
special programs for creating music, and virtual
simulations, open up new horizons in the formation of
creative musical thinking. The role of these tools in
increasing students' interest and stimulating their
pursuit of new ideas is invaluable. With the help of such
methodological approaches, the music education
process becomes not only effective, but also
interesting.
Thus, the diversity of methodological approaches in the
formation of creative musical thinking, their harmony
and flexibility are the key to the success of the teacher.
This increases the interest of students in music and
serves to form them as true creators.
Literature analysis
Research on the formation of creative musical thinking
is one of the main directions of the theory of music
education and has been the focus of attention of many
domestic and foreign scientists. Literature analysis on
this issue confirms the importance of using innovative
methods, national musical heritage and modern
technologies in the process of developing musical
thinking.
Russian scientists S. V. Rachmaninov, L. S. Vygotsky and
D. B. Kabalevsky have expressed extensive opinions on
the theoretical foundations of the formation of creative
thinking in music education. Their scientific works show
that musical thinking is a means not only of developing
performance skills, but also of increasing the ability to
conduct musical and aesthetic analysis. L. S. Vygotsky
defined creativity as one of the main manifestations of
human thinking and analyzed the processes of its
development.
Among local studies, the works of N. S. Safarov, O. Kh.
Yuldoshev and Z. M. Mirzayeva are of great importance
in the scientific work on music education and the
formation of creative thinking in Uzbekistan. These
authors conducted their research on the use of national
musical heritage in the educational process, as well as
practical methods for developing musical thinking.
Their scientific works emphasize the role of national
music in the formation of creative thinking and offer
important recommendations for teachers.
When referring to foreign literature, the works of J.
Dewey and H. Gardner on creative thinking and music
education stand out. J. Dewey, studying the place of
musical experience in the educational process, showed
music as a means of developing critical thinking and
creativity. H. Gardner, in his theory of multiple
intelligences, defined musical intelligence as one of the
important cognitive abilities of a person.
The analysis of the literature shows that the use of
innovative technologies, the integration of folk music
culture, and the improvement of practical exercises are
of particular importance in the formation of musical
thinking. At the same time, the use of game methods
and problem-based learning in the pedagogical process
creates great opportunities for the effective
organization of the formation of creative thinking.
On this basis, this scientific article aims to offer
scientific and practical recommendations on the
formation of students' creative thinking by analyzing
the existing literature in the field of music education.
Based on the analysis of the literature, it can be
concluded that the combination of national and foreign
approaches further enriches creative approaches in
music education.
DISCUSSION
The formation of creative musical thinking is an
important, but inherently complex process in the
process of music education. For the successful
implementation of this process, it is necessary to
effectively use innovative methods, practical exercises
and means of stimulating creative activity.
The analyses and experiences covered in the article
show that the formation of creative thinking depends
not only on the qualifications of music teachers, but
also on the diversity of approaches used in the
educational process. For example, the use of game
methods and problem-based learning in the
development of musical thinking helps students
perceive music not only as an art of performance, but
also as a means of expressing new ideas and thoughts.
During the discussion, it should be emphasized that
creative musical thinking is not limited to theoretical
knowledge. On the contrary, this process requires the
active involvement of students in practical activities.
For example, creating musical works, implementing
their own creative projects, and analyzing works of
national and world music serve to enrich students'
thinking. Also, the use of national musical
achievements instills respect and interest in students'
cultural heritage and develops a creative worldview in
them.
At the same time, the use of modern technologies, in

particular digital music programs and multimedia tools,
opens up new opportunities for the formation of
creative musical thinking. By using these technologies
in creating their own musical projects, students not
only develop their creative abilities, but also acquire
skills in the practical application of modern music
technologies.
The results of the discussion show that the flexibility
and diversity of pedagogical approaches are of great
importance in the formation of creative musical
thinking. In order to develop the creative abilities of
students, it is necessary not to be limited to only one
approach, but to combine different methods and
techniques. This will help make the process of music
education more effective and interesting.
Thus, research and practical experience on the
formation of creative musical thinking confirm the
relevance of this process. Continuing research in this
area and enriching it with modern approaches will
serve the development of the music education system.
CONCLUSION
Music is the highest example of the cultural heritage,
spiritual wealth and creative thinking of mankind. The
formation of creative musical thinking in students is the
most effective means of not only instilling a love for the
art of music, but also of giving them the skills of creative
and independent thinking. Musical thinking, along with
the development of the human soul, is of great
importance in educating comprehensively developed,
creative individuals for society.
The research conducted in this article has shown that
in order to form creative musical thinking, it is
necessary to introduce innovative methods into the
educational process. The use of game technologies,
problem-based learning and digital platforms is one of
the effective ways to actively involve students in the
musical process. Also, the use of the achievements of
national and world music allows students to broaden
their worldview and enrich their musical thinking.
The art of music, with its multifaceted essence,
encourages a person to understand various aspects of
life, to discover their abilities. In the process of
developing musical thinking, students learn not only to
perform works of art, but also to understand their inner
essence. Thus, they will have the opportunity to
perceive not only music, but also life more deeply.
In conclusion, the formation of creative musical
thinking is an integral part of the educational process,
which serves not only to develop students' musical
skills, but also to increase their creative and intellectual
potential. Modern approaches and methodological
innovations used in the process of music education are
the most important factors in achieving this goal.
Educating creative individuals, increasing their interest
in music and developing musical culture is our greatest
task. And creative thinking created through music
serves as a solid foundation for students' future success
in all areas.
