Most children of senior preschool age are characterized by abnormal self-evaluation, which is considered a pathology for this age period.The article presents a brief description of the self- evaluation levels of senior preschool age chilfren. The authors adhere to the following classification of self-evaluation: adequate, overestimated, underestimated self-evaluation. The article also reveals the problems of developing self-evaluation in senior preschool age. In addition, the article provides a summary of the concept of “normalization of self-evaluation”. The musical and aesthetic environment is proposed as a means of promoting the formation of adequate self-evaluation. The article presents the results of a study on the diagnosis of self-evaluation of senior preschool age children: in preschool age, there is an approximately equal ratio of self-evaluation levels. Only 40 % of children have adequate self-evaluation, which is the norm for a given age. Among the features of adequate self-evaluation, friendliness, a realistic assessment of one's capabilities, and a desire to overcome difficulties were noted. Preschoolers with lowself-evaluation (30 %) are characterized by isolation, anxiety, and fatigue. Children with overestimated self-evaluation (30 %) demonstratively manifest a desire for leadership. The article presents a qualitative description of the value of the correlation coefficient between self-evaluation and the musical-aesthetic environment of a preschool educational organization through the gradation of Achim Büyul, Peter Zöfel. A plan of measures to increase the knowledge of educators on the organization of a musical and aesthetic environment in order to increase the level of self-evaluation among preschoolers is presented, including the distribution of activities by week, the names of activities, as well as participants of planned activities.
