The article considers the pedagogical component of the activity of the composers of the “Mighty bunch” — M. A. Balakirev and N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov, who had a significant influence on the formation and development of Russian music education. Developing the musical and aesthetic ideas put forward by the creative work of the kuchkists, both representatives of the “New Russian music school” justified progressive pedagogical attitudes and principles that are in great demand in the modern practice of music education. Realizing their pedagogical views in the process of leadership and teaching in such Russian musical and educational institutions of the 19th century as the free music school, the Court singing Capella, the St. Petersburg Conservatory, etc., the above-mentioned representatives of the “Mighty bunch” moved to solve the problem they faced from alternative positions: if Balakirev was characterized by an empirical approach to solving creative, including pedagogical tasks, then Rimsky-Korsakov was able to justify the conceptual foundations and basic provisions of Russian music pedagogy. This article is devoted to the consideration of these provisions.
