The relevance of the presented study is due to the need for early detection and development of children's talent. Musical talent is one of the artistic talent types, the signs of which are revealed at the stage of preschool childhood already. We assume that the optimal conditions for the development of musical talent in preschool children may be additional education programs implemented on the basis of pre-school educational institutions. Thus, the aim of the study is to study the content of additional general development programs, as well as various forms of organization of children's activities aimed at the development of musical talent of preschool age children in conditions of additional education. The leading method in the preparation of this article was the theoretical analysis and comparison of various concepts and approaches to the development of children’s musical talent, which studied the essential characteristics of the concept of "talent", clarified the structure of musical talent of preschool children. The method of pedagogical experience generalization allowed to formulate conclusions about the need to develop special programs, the implementation of which would contribute to the development of musical talents. The article presents the author's additional general developing program "Rainbow of Talents". It focuses on the development of all components of preschool children musical talent (musical abilities, initiative and interest to musical activity, creativity manifestations). Various forms of children's activities organization are offered within the framework of the program. The joint musical activity of the child with the adult is based on the partnership and involves both group forms (thematic music classes, music halls, evenings of leisure, etc.) and individual (individual developing music classes). For the development of each component of musical talent, we selected a variety of didactic tools, exercises, games-improvisations, creative tasks, as well as approximate topics of projects aimed at developing interest in the art of music. Unlike the main program, the program of additional education allows to satisfy the individual preferences of children through a variety of children’s activity organization forms. The implementation of the proposed additional general development program allows to improve the level of children’s musical and creative abilities development, to form a stable interest in musical activity, which will increase the number of children with signs of musical talent, identified at the stage of preschool childhood. The article may be interesting for educators of preschool educational organizations: teachers of additional education and music instructors.
