The significance of culturology in the innovative improvement of music pedagogy

fostering a culture of creativity, developing skills in independent creative thinking and shaping a professional style are essential tasks of higher education. The most important ways to achieve this goal lie in innovative integrative methods, which simultaneously draw on the traditional experience of classical humanitarian education. Like any form of advancement, innovative improvement begins with well-known elements of pedagogical influence, among which communication aspects play a crucial role, directly affecting the perception of educational material. At the same time, innovations in culturology also encompass various dimensions. This article highlights those issues most closely related to pedagogy in terms of conceptual proximity. For instance, it draws attention to the interrelation between innovation and speech culture. Comparing linguistic norms with creative expression reveals clear analogies between the foundations of global pedagogical instruction and innovative strategies in education. The author also emphasizes the importance of a creative approach to innovation, as the formation of future university graduates is inseparably linked to these orientations. Reforms in higher education must be grounded in certain humanitarian priorities, including culturological ones. Clearly, the renewal of music-pedagogical reference points requires the integration of culturology as a vital component of modern, innovative approaches. In this context, it is important to underline the value of axiological aspects in contemporary education, since an understanding of the values of Azerbaijani spirituality as a foundation for teaching humanitarian disciplines brings a necessary element of creativity into the process. The integration of culturology as an interdisciplinary subject into music courses at higher education institutions reflects the reformative potential of modern Azerbaijani pedagogy and provides direction for its further advancement.
