The article is devoted to the problem of forming students-instrumentalists experience of professional activity in the process of vocational training at the university. The views of scientists regarding the essence of the concepts of «experience» and «professional experience» in philosophical, psychological, socio-pedagogical, musical-performance aspects are analyzed. The specificity of the musician-instrumentalist activity (as a performer and teacher) and the requirements of the educational and professional program for the professional training of students-instrumentalists at the university are determined. The directions (performing and pedagogical) of forming students' experience of professional activity are determined. The stages of formation of practical performing experience of a future instrumentalist and the content of professional training of pupils and students in instrumental-performance classes are characterized. The importance of individual, ensemble and orchestral training of students in the formation of the experience of professional activity of an instrumentalist is substantiated. Attention is focused on the complex nature of the formation of pedagogical experience of instrumental students in the classes of professional disciplines. The tasks of concert performance and pedagogical practice in the formation of professional experience of students are revealed. The formation of future instrumentalists' experience of professional activity is defined as a process of students' professional training in the system of classes on instrumental-performance, historical-theoretical and methodical disciplines, concert-performance and teaching practice, as well as the result characterizing the level of students' readiness for professional activity. Conclusions are formulated: 1) experience is an integral component of the professional competence of a specialist, and its formation is a long phased process; 2) the professional experience of the musician-instrumentalist is the empirical knowledge of the ways of concert and performance and music-pedagogical activity; 3) formation of students-instrumentalist experience of professional activity is carried out in the process of professional training, is enriched and improved during many years of creative activity.
