Musical Art as the Core of Creative Industries in the Context of Intercultural Interaction in the Educational Space

This article examines the phenomenon of musical art as an integral element of the creative industries through the lens of its potential to shape the modern intercultural music-educational space. The author argues that the processes of globalization and digitalization in the music industry are not only transforming economic models but also creating unique conditions for cultural dialogue, which directly impacts the content and methods of music education. The study analyzes how such segments of the creative industries as digital music platforms, the production of soundtracks for international media products, and the organization of cross-cultural festivals are becoming practical case studies for the educational process. The article substantiates the necessity of integrating knowledge about the creative industries and intercultural communication into curricula to train competitive and culturally sensitive specialists. It is concluded that contemporary music education should function not only as a transmitter of cultural codes but also as an active agent within the creative economy, fostering the competencies required for successful professional activity in the modern globalized world.
