Abstract.

The main aim of the article is to describe the activities of the Kyiv ten–year Music School named after M. Lysenko in the 1950s and 1960s in the context of the Ukrainian piano art development. This work accurately reconstructs the activities of the piano departments of the school in the 1950s and 1960s. It assesses their importance in the development of Ukrainian piano art, and this is what determines the relevance of the article.

The novelty of this article is that for the first time, a number of documents from the Kyiv city archive and the Central State Archives Museum of Literature and Arts, the archive of the Ukrainian National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music were put into scientific circulation.

The following methods were used during the study: source studies, complex historical studies, and cultural studies.

Conclusions. The activity of the Kyiv ten-year Music School of the 1950s and 1960s played a significant role not only in that period but also in the further development of Ukrainian piano art. The institution united outstanding figures of Ukrainian piano art, in which they showed their pedagogical abilities in working with highly gifted students, and these students, having absorbed and systematized their skills, became the successors of their teachers, confirming the high professional status of the institution in their future creative life. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of using the materials of this article in the courses of Ukrainian piano art, and expanding scientific achievements devoted to the history of Kyiv State Music Lyceum named after M. Lysenko.
