The article examines the motor activity of students of musical arts using the Framingham method and identifies the ways to increase it through organized recreational activity and rational organization of free time.
 The data revealed a significant decrease of average indicators and lack of higher levels of motor activity for students of musical art. The total value of daily motor activity at basic, sedentary, and small levels is 91.6% among students. The assessment of motor activity showed that students of I and II year do not exhibit high levels of motor activity. Students in their third year of study showed very low motor activity.
 It is revealed that a lack of motor activity in students of music arts is associated with the static standing/sitting position to improve professional skills and the irrational distribution of free time.
 The results obtained prove that it is highly important to increase the motivation of students of musical arts to exercise and engage in sports.
