Summary/Abstract: The innovative context of the professional arts education implies the mastering by a future expert musician not only a certain set of competencies prescribed in the educational qualification characteristics but also his personal and professional self-determination, active vital position as to his professional self-improvement, readiness for creative self-realization in multidimensional musical and pedagogic activities.Therefore, improvement of the system of training of a future pedagogue-musician, based on the latest pattern, which is constructed on principles of freedom pedagogy, can become the innovative resource that will ensure the development of his personality freedom, subjectivity, and ability for making independent choices, conscious and responsible self-determination and creative self-realization in his own professional activity.The perspective path of implementation of the innovative resource in the content of professional training of a future pedagogue-musician is seen in the creation inside a university arts educational environment the space for free self-identification of a personality on the basis of such leading principles of freedom pedagogy as the principle of self-worth of a personality and the principle of freedom. The essential characteristics of these principles are: recognition of each personality as the starting point and at the same time the main goal and the main result of the educational process. This means the aiming of the latter at preserving and developing the personal image of each student, providing all the necessary conditions for a personality self-realization in the process of professional training to implement the individual trajectory in its professional development. In this context, there is a natural demand for a personality freedom to have the utmost conditions for development and realization in the learning process of all natural abilities and qualities that will ensure a future pedagogue-musician’s effective professional activity. So, the matter is about the need to upgrade the system of training of a future pedagogue-musician with the aim that such core values of a democratic society as freedom and self-worth of a personality, which actually constitute the conceptual basis of freedom pedagogy, should become the new benchmarks. Hence, the present-day higher arts education faces the need to create qualitatively new approaches to training of a contemporary specialist and provide conditions for the forming and developing of a future specialist’s professionally significant personal qualities in intellectual, mental, emotional, sensual, creative spheres without any external impact, by way of forming such artistic and educational environment in which a student would feel himself the subject (the author, creator) of his own professional and creative growth and of his own life.Research of composer-performer's activities as an innovative resource of musical and pedagogical training, that presupposes the formation of a specially organized artistic and educational space on the basis of principles of freedom pedagogy, and ensures maturity of the author's expertise of a future pedagogue-musician, is the aim of this article. Appeal to the outlined problems is stipulated by the fact that domestic scientists undertake to actualize the matter of renewal of arts and, in particular, musical pedagogic education in Ukraine, in order to bring it in line with the current in the European educational space humanistic cultural paradigm of education, aimed at individual development, free choice and self-organization of a person, and at introduction of a qualitatively new, innovation-based approach to professional training of a future pedagogue-musician. In view of the scientific approaches of the leading domestic scientists that take place in the theory and practice of modern national arts education as concerns the training of specialists in the field of arts (Oleksiuk, A. Otych, G. Padalka and others), and provide a solid philosophical, culturological, theoretical, methodological, methodical, technological basis for further research, the vector of scientific explorations of our scientific laboratory is stipulated by the need of updating musical pedagogic education on the principles of free self-determination of future professional musicians in the process of their individual, personal, spiritual, creative and professional self-development.Thus, the main thought of the article is focused on investigation of the innovative resource of the artistic educational space, based on the ground principles of freedom pedagogy. In our opinion, this requires a new vision of the opportunities of professional development of a future pedagogue-musician and innovation-oriented content of his professional training, which ensures the efficiency of development of the required by the present time personality and professional skills of a specialist of modern level. One of the ways to implement the individual and personality self-development of musician students on the principles of free self-determination has become the introduction into the process of professional training the composing and performing activities as a powerful source that is a determinant factor of individual development of a free, spiritual and creative personality. And it is in the process of composing and performing activities that the author’s competence of future pedagogue-musicians is formed as an integrative, personality and professional quality that allows future professionals to act in the arts educational space freely and creatively, and establishes a qualitatively new level of their professional expertise, the development of spiritual, creative essential forces and the ability for independent choice, conscious and responsible self-determination and creative self-realization in their own professional activities.
