The leading trend of modern education of young people in Ukraine is a harmonious combination of interests of adolescents striving for free self-development and preservation of their individuality; a society that ensures the comprehensive development of their personality and the state, which sets before education the task of educating future patriotic citizens who are able to provide it with a worthy place in the world community. Pedagogical conditions are a component of the pedagogical system of out-of-school education and a set of possibilities of its educational environment, which effectively functions, develops and optimally influences the musical and aesthetic education of adolescents. Based on the analysis of the current state of musical and aesthetic education of adolescents, the study of practical pedagogical experience of out-of-school educational institutions, taking into account the requirements of state regulations on education, identified the following pedagogical conditions that optimize this pedagogical activity: – implementation by the teacher of a personality-oriented approach to interaction with students in the process of their involvement in folk instrumental performance; – introduction of the method of contextual music making by the head of the circle in the process of musical and aesthetic education of teenagers; – formation of adolescents' need for creative self-development from the standpoint of their focus on learning the experience of musical activities and integration into the socio-cultural environment. The organization of the educational process in the circles of out-of-school educational institutions on playing folk instruments is based on the interrelation of individual, group and collective forms of activity and in parallel or in the variant of interpenetration (individual-pair classes). The optimal combination of individual, group and collective forms of musical activity of adolescents provides their psychological and emotional comfort. Due to the use of the method of contextual music making by teachers of out-of-school education, the possibility of effective adaptation of individual features of the pupil, traditional and innovative methods of musical and aesthetic education of teenagers is realized, the level of theoretical knowledge increases. An important stimulus for the formation of musical and aesthetic taste of adolescents by means of folk instrumental performance are public performances of pupils-participants of musical groups, participation in competitions, festivals of creative projects, flash mobs. Further development of out-of-school education institutions requires a variety of forms and methods of organizing specialized cognitive and practical activities of students; optimization of conditions to ensure subject-subject relationships; increasing the role of out-of-school educational space - spatial and environmental association of subjects of activity, between which close relationships have been established that ensure the effectiveness of educational and creative interaction.

The paper celebrates the publication of Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller's Thinking Literature across Continents as a significant event in the age of neoliberalism. It argues that, in spite of the different premises and the resulting interpretative procedures respectively championed by the two co-authors, both of them anchor their readings of literary texts in a concept of literature that is diametrically opposed to neoliberal rationality, and both impassionedly safeguard human values and experiences that resist the technologisation and marketisation of the humanities and aesthetic education. While Ghosh's readings of literature offer lightning flashes of thought from the outside of the Western tradition, signalling a new culture of reading as well as a new manner of appreciation of the other, Miller dedicatedly speaks and thinks against the hegemony of neoliberal reason, opening our eyes to the kind of change our teaching or reading of literature can trigger in the world, and the role aesthetic education should and can play at a time when the humanities are considered ‘a lost cause’.

On the Anthropology of Aesthetic Education A Historical-Systematic Proposition In this article we propose a systematization of Aesthetic Education from an anthropological perspective. Aesthetic Education is centred on anthropology in its dimensions of perception and thought, praxis and formation as well as emotion and relation. For each of them we present two very different authors and their conceptions of Aesthetic Education: with Baumgarten and Hegel we discuss perception and thought, with Locke and Nietzsche we focus praxis and formation, and with Lessing and Wagner we analyse forms of emotion and relation of Aesthetic Education. Aesthetic Education is realized as an anthropological ›interplay‹ of these dimensions, in which it gains its power.

Mental practice (MP) in music refers to the ability to rehearse music in the mind without any muscular movements or acoustic feedback. While previous studies have shown effects of the combination of MP and physical practice (PP) on instrumental performance, here we aimed to assess MP and PP effects on memory abilities. During a 1-week music practice protocol, classical guitarists were asked to practise a new musical piece using either a combination of MP and PP or PP alone. We asked participants to perform the piece and notate it at 3 different times: Day 1 and Day 7 of the 1-week practice protocol and 10 days after its completion (follow-up session). Results showed that the combination of MP and PP improves both notation and performance tasks compared with PP alone. Furthermore, we observed a clearer difference in memory performance in the follow-up session as compared with that in Day 7. Our results show that musicians can use both MP and PP to improve long-term retention and to reduce physical workload and playing-related overuse injuries. Therefore, we encourage music educators to teach MP in the classrooms rather than letting students discover it in a serendipitous way.
