In modern society, the problem of overcoming shyness in adolescents has not lost its relevance for many years. In the course of its solution, contradictions arose connected, on the one hand, with the study of the level of manifestation, and on the other hand, with the development of specific pedagogical technologies, methods, programs that would reduce the negative effects of shyness. The goal is to study the specifics of preventive work with adolescent shyness within the framework of a music education studio and work out pedagogical recommendations for the implementation of this activity. Research methods and techniques: theoretical - analysis and generalization of psychological and pedagogical literature; empirical – experiment, ascertaining experiment, testing (method of diagnosing shyness by K. S. Chechulina, the "Ladder" technique by V. G. Shchur, the method of studying self-attitude by S. R. Panteleev); methods of mathematical data processing – Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The experimental base of the research is the “Rostok” musical education studio at the Palace of Arts for Children and Youth in Kopeysk. The study involved adolescents - pupils of the studio - at the age of 12–14 years (N = 30). A high level of shyness was found in 37% of the subjects, an extremely high level in 10%. This means that the pupils of the music studio are closed, experience difficulties in communicating with their peers and with the teacher, cannot demonstrate their abilities and talents, and react painfully to comments and criticism. Testing the hypothesis using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient showed that the level of shyness of adolescents was associated with the level of their self-evaluation, the correlation between them is reliable, the direction of the correlation is the opposite: a high level of shyness corresponds to a low level of self-evaluation. Therefore, you must avoid the conditions when a child is in a situation of uncertainty or doubt. The teacher should involve the teenager in public affairs that he can participate in; praise him/her when the teenager shows independence; stimulate his/her personal responsibility for any actions and avoid tension situations.
