The article reveals that the current stage of social development requires a radical renewal of the content of higher art education, in which axiological priorities should become decisive in the professional training of future music teachers. It has been found that this problem is especially exacerbated by the integration aspirations of our country to join the Common European Educational Area, in which the individual is formed as a subject of culture, his or her spiritual and value sphere develops, etc. This requires a transition from a knowledge-centered to a culture-centered model of higher education, where a person is formed as a subject of culture, develops its spiritual and valuable sphere, etc.Therefore, the problem of spiritual and value formation of a personality through music is actualized in the content of post-nonclassical higher art education, creating prerequisites for the formation of such a phenomenon as a holistic professional worldview in future music teachers. The analysis of the structural components (cognitive-educative, emotional-valuable, activity-practical and professional-reflective) of this phenomenon has shown that the basic construct of professional worldview is the system of value orientations of the individual.In order to study the dynamics in the formation of value orientations of students of music specialties, the second stage of a special experimental study was conducted at the Anatolii Avdiievskyi Faculty of Arts of Dragomanov Ukrainian State University. In the course of the empirical study, using the methods of observation, questionnaires, interviews, testing, diachronic analysis, ranking, etc., it was confirmed that studentsʼ orientations towards professional values were the most stable, reflecting the main focus of their motives, interests and needs for future professional activities.
