Annotation

The article presents the results historical and pedagogical reconstruction of parental strategies in musical education of Soviet children in the second half of the twentieth century. The theoretical basis was the provisions on child-parent (child-adult) conventions developed in previous years, and modern models of “parental strategies in children’s education” were also used to interpret the socio-pedagogical phenomena of the past. The work used the method of semi-structured narrative-oriented interview, which made it possible to record: the initiative of parents at the start of musical education of children, the degree of control and regulation by parents of their children’s homework, attendance of events at a music school, etc. Field materials were collected in 2018–2020 during interviews in Moscow and 10 other cities of Russia (Voronezh, Kostroma, Nizhny Tagil, Novosibirsk, Ryazan, Saratov, Ulyanovsk, Cheboksary, Chelyabinsk). In total, the memoirs of 124 people (born in 1946–1980) who studied in children’s music schools in childhood were analyzed. As a result of the generalization, the following types of parental strategies were proposed: imposing the music practice scenario on the child, showing loyalty to the child’s independence in music lessons, agreements with children in the sphere of music lessons. The presented results, rather, only outline the line of an interdisciplinary study of parental participation in the socialization of the younger generation.
