Psychological and pedagogical conditions of emotional development of primary school children by means of music therapy

The article attempts to theoretically substantiate and experimentally test the psychological and pedagogical conditions of the emotional development of a younger student by means of music therapy. The development of emotions is closely related to the child's emotional awareness of himself and other people, with the awareness of the reasons that cause different feelings and corresponding emotions. The author presents an integrated program, including a variety of psychotechnics: drawing to music, writing fairy tales to music, dance therapy, expressing emotions and feelings to music. The program is based on the use of different ways of creative self-expression, visual and plastic means and, first of all, musical means, which are supplemented by means of art therapy and dramatic expression, movement and dance. The classes included in the program had a positive impact on the emotional sphere of the children. Music therapy has great potential in working with children.
