The paper is devoted to the actual problem of the implementation of educational programs of higher education in the conditions of digitalization and the transition to online forms of teaching. As a basic model, a mixed form of teaching is considered, when all the information part of the educational course is brought online, but at the same time all practical classes are carried out in the classroom in the traditional contact form. The paper examines in detail the procedure for creating, implementing and operating an educational module implemented in a mixed hybrid format and actually provides a teaching technology that can be widely replicated in a wide variety of educational fields. As an example, the study considers the educational module of the block Theoretical and probabilistic methods of data analysis, which includes video content of 100150 clips lasting 810 minutes, a communication medium, printed materials and step-by-step operating instructions. The issues of content production, its time and content formats are considered. In addition, the issues of creating and operating a communication environment in which the educational process takes place are considered. Special attention is paid to the issues of monitoring the activities of all participants in the educational process: both students and teachers, as well as content creators, a media group working on its production and maintenance. In addition, the risks of the project are analyzed, recommended risk management measures are proposed. The module is implemented in the Blended Learning format and is designed to be used in educational programs of higher professional education and in extended education programs. Its subject matter (probability theory and data analysis) is presented in such a way that, once implemented, it will be in demand in a wide range of educational areas: from sociology, biology and medicine to economics, energy, construction and mechanical engineering.

The sphere of creative industries is the activity based on applying creative approach. Due to the complex composition of the areas of production attributed to creative industries, and the interdisciplinarity of approaches to their study, a consolidated position regarding their definition, composition, classification and essential characteristics has not been developed yet. At the same time, many resear­chers believe that activities in the field of creative industries have the ability to develop human potential. The inclusion of the topic, principles and approaches of the creative industries to the educational process of the higher education institutes of Russia conforms to the educational field development tendencies connected with the formation of necessary metasubject skills and abilities in present conditions. In those si­tuations when there is no possibility and need for introducing specialized educational courses in creative industries into educational programs, the same positive results can be achieved by applying a practice-oriented approach to the disciplines, provided by curriculum plans, educational and work practi­ces, and educational events. Through acquain­tance with creative businesses, inventions of their own creative projects, students have the opportunity to expand the future professional field, to apply the know­ledge, gained in particular from stu­dying a wide range of disciplines, to solve real problems in public life. The practice-oriented approach in educational programs can be embodied in the forms of specialized edu­cational programs, project semi­nars (competitions, incubators) and educational events. The article considers the practical examples of the specified formats implemented by “Creative Industries” Agency from 2015 to 2018 in partnership with a range of state institutes of higher education (Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences, Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Moscow City Government University of Management, Petrosavodsk State University, Siberial Fede­ral University) and cultu­ral institutions.

The purpose of the researchis to develop a concept for improving the model of additional education for solving the tasks set by the Russian government in the Digital Economy of the Russian Federation Program. Taking into account the high rates of development of digital technologies and methods of their use, the transformation of the model of additional education becomes a paramount task and requires a systematic approach to its solution. Now, the issues of creating organizational structures and their financing for solving the tasks set in the Program often overshadow aspects related to the methodology and content of additional professional education. However, the issues of organizing ways to acquire new knowledge and skills, the content of additional education programs, personalization, and technology for delivering knowledge to students become most relevant. Therefore, it is important to create a competitive environment for additional education that meets the needs of the student.Materials and research methodscontain analysis of domestic and foreign literature on digitalization of education and knowledge management. The methodological basis of the research is the methods and technologies of the theory of knowledge management and system analysis.The research resultsshow that the dynamics of development of economic processes are so fast that they constantly require new knowledge and skills from employees, and often a shift in work. New competencies are required, which are now acquired mainly directly during work and independently. All this makes it necessary to improve the approaches to the implementation of additional education. The concept of transformation of the model of additional education proposed in the article contains the following basic requirements for the implementation of programs: the need for quality basic education as the foundation for the construction of various additional programs; availability of a wider range of additional education programs, not only after graduating, but also during and after school; the expansion of training programs offered through online platforms; development of network forms and peerto-peer training; the need for close cooperation with professional communities, building an additional education system to meet the requirements and needs of the business.Conclusion.The concept of transformation of the model of additional education proposed in the article is based on the use of modern information and communication technologies and the creation of an educational environment that assumes the active interaction of all participants in the educational process (including employers). The transformation of the educational environment involves the solution of practical tasks for the rapid development and updating of the relevant curricula; automatic construction of courses on the basis of the repository of educational objects under the competence, which are in demand and formed by the business environment; certification of various levels, confirming the acquisition of knowledge in a particular area, not only in accordance with the approved professional standards, but also in the field of continuing professional education; monitoring the demand for programs based on adaptive testing.

"The aim of the work is to arrange the scientific achievements on the category of “musical performing style” and identify mechanisms for practical testing of theoretical provisions in the pedagogical activities of higher musical education institutions. The research methodology is based on a combination of general scientific and musicological approaches, in particular: system approach hermeneutic, historical, comparative, genre-style, interpretive method, as well as performance analysis. The results of the study indicate that domestic art schools were formed by synthesizing several national and historical style traditions. Music and performance schools were actively developing in parallel with the compositional work in Ukraine in the second half of the twentieth century; the work of representatives of those schools presents a fairly wide range of style research. A natural result of the studied problem of musical performing style should be its transfer to the practical plane of professional education of musicians and performers, formation of musical style competence in students. Kotlyarevsky Kharkiv National University of Arts was selected as an experimental platform for its formation. During 2019-2021, a pedagogical experiment continued to test the formation of musical and style thesaurus, performance and intellectual skills, professionally important qualities of music students. In the context of studying of different styles in the system of musical performance by the students of higher music education institutions, it is important that the art of music is constantly evolving and new directions and trends in music styles emerge almost every day in Ukraine and the world as a whole. This undoubtedly makes the need for further research on this issue urgent (usually with the use of advanced domestic and foreign experience in music education). Keywords: Style. Category. Art. Musical work. Musicology. Music education. Educational process. Organizational and methodological system."
