Despite some differences in the meaning of this definition, we have fond also common features: ability, willingness to the subject effectively organize knowledge, abilities, skills, experience for setting and achieving goals. There are key competencies, including general cultural, which includes musical and aesthetic as one of the brunch. In our research, we follow the general approach to competence which defines the essence of "musical aesthetic competence" concept. The essence of the musical and aesthetic competence lies in its individual capacity, readiness and real opportunities to accept, integrate and experience the beauty of musical works, play (or create) it practical with understanding of the importance of this type of activity in the social and individual spheres of life, in different social relations.The principle of national focus in education including knowledge of Ukrainian folk songs, works of local composers, ability to perform it (singing or with the help of instrument), feel their beauty, bringing together with their nationality, and therefore with themselves. It helps to develop the ability to preserve their national identity, to understand music as an integral part of spirituality of the Ukrainian people. Ukraine is a country, which is home to several dozen ethnic groups, or so-called minorities. The Constitution of Ukraine declares that the country supports, creates conditions for the development of their national identity. Representatives of these peoples and ethnic groups should not feel reduced in their rights. Therefore, in areas where contact populated by national minorities in non-school institutions should be created special creative teams under national direction. At presence of choir, band, orchestra, etc., several participants of certain nationalities their national works should be included in repertoire. However, all teenagers, members of the creative teams must be able to sing in Ukrainian language, perform Ukrainian music to feel the citizens of Ukraine, to be part of Ukrainian nation, formed as a patriot for all ethnic homeland.
