Current trends in the development of modern education are focused on the implementation of interdisciplinary approaches that promote the development of a harmoniously developed student. In this context, interest in the use of music as a resource with the unique potential for a comprehensive impact on the cognitive and emotional spheres is growing. Musical genres, characterized by expressiveness and diversity, are considered an effective means of developing the linguistic, communicative, and creative abilities of schoolchildren, making them a popular tool in the general education system. The aim of this study is to identify the educational potential of integrating musical genres into the educational process to stimulate speech development, creative thinking, artistic self-expression, and problem-solving. The methodological basis of the study is based on a comprehensive approach, including theoretical analysis of scientific literature, comparison of empirical data, and elements of pedagogical modeling. Particular attention is paid to studying the relationship between the perception of musical works and the stimulation of students' verbal and creative activities. The results of the study demonstrate that integrating a musical component into the educational process not only enriches learning content but also develops multidimensional competences, including communicative, creative, and meta-subject skills. Music is considered as a universal language of emotional and semantic expression, enhancing motivation for learning, expanding vocabulary, and stimulating cognitive activity. The theoretical significance of the study lies in its substantiation of the role of music as a mediator between students' emotional and cognitive activity. Its practical significance lies in the development of recommendations for integrating musical genres into the school curriculum as a resource for comprehensive development and preparing students for effective performance in a dynamic and innovative society.
