MUSICIAN'S SELF-AWARENESS AS THE BASIS OF HIS PROFESSIONAL SELF-EDUCATION
The article is devoted to one of the topical issues of modern pedagogy - the phenomenon of self-education. Attention is focused on the professional self-education of the musician. To analyze this issue, a synergetic approach was chosen as the most complete way to reflect the mechanisms of self-organization of multi-complex "anstropo-socio-cultural" phenomena. As one of the foundations of effective self-education of a specialist, his self-awareness is defined. The main functions and actions of this mental process (self-knowledge, choice of life orientation, change and formation of oneself) are analyzed; the specific features of its manifestation in the musical profession are indicated ("interpenetrated fusion", "the opportunity to experience the undeveloped", empathic-perceptual integrity of the professional space). The analysis of philosophical and psychological literature (F. Bacon, A.F. Losev, Yu.M. Lotman, S.L. Rubinstein, I.S. Kohn, V. Frankl, etc.) as well as musical and pedagogical practice allowed us to identify a number of conditions, which presence determines the possibility and content of the process of professional self-education. They include activity, information, group (environment), communication, freedom and responsibility. The given philosophical and psychological justifications of human self-consciousness allowed us to conclude that self-education can be considered as a process of self-organization of "I am a musician" image (system) and confirmed the well-known pedagogical thesis that one is impossible to be taught, they can only learn (through self-education).
