Abstract

This article comprehensively analyzes the cognitive (mental) impact of music on the formation of youth thinking. The role of music in the development of mental functions such as hearing, perception, memory, attention, thinking and creative thinking in the process of cognitive development is highlighted on the basis of scientific sources and modern psychological and pedagogical approaches. The study also substantiates the positive impact of music education on youth thinking, its importance in ensuring emotional-intellectual balance and its role as a means of stimulating creative thinking with practical examples. The article serves as a useful scientific and theoretical resource for educators, music teachers and psychologists working with youth.
