FEATURES OF FORMING THE FOUNDATIONS OF ETHNIC CULTURE AT A PRESCHOOL AGE OF CHILDREN IN MUSICAL-FOLKLORE ACTIVITY

Abstract

The article is devoted to some features of the process of forming the foundations of ethnic culture at a preschool age. The most important condition for the formation of the ethnic culture the author considers the familiarizing of children with traditional cultural values through practical mastering of musical folklore. The author states it is based on the integration of the two components of ethnic culture: ethno-aesthetic and ethno-educational, which closely interact with each other. Such approach enables to develop pre-school children's love to a person, to their people and to the folk culture as well as to develop their respect to native history and the ability to express their positive affective attitude to folk art.
